SUMMARY:EMEA: Navigating the new risk landscape: AI\, governance\, and the path to maturity
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\n70% of risk leaders say the landscape is more complex than it was two years ago. With the rapid adoption of AI\, multiplying regulations\, and intensifying cyber threats\, risk teams are busier than ever. Investment and intent are at an all-time high\, yet true resilience remains elusive for many. This phenomenon is known as the “Middle Maturity Trap”: a state where organizations achieve high levels of activity — logging risks\, adopting controls\, and mapping frameworks — but lack the consistency and governance to turn that activity into foresight. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we unpack the findings from the inaugural 2025 Risk Intelligence Report. Based on proprietary telemetry from the AuditBoard platform and surveys of over 400 risk leaders\, this session will reveal why “surface compliance” is failing and how top-tier organizations are distinguishing themselves. We will explore the five critical dimensions of risk intelligence—from AI automation to cross-functional collaboration—and provide a strategic roadmap to help you move from reactive oversight to competitive advantage. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the “Middle Maturity Trap”: Recognize the signs of high-activity/low-consistency risk management and understand why “check-the-box” compliance no longer ensures resilience.\n\n\n\nBenchmark against the 5 dimensions of risk intelligence: Evaluate your organization’s maturity across the five critical pillars: AI & automation\, control maturity\, framework coverage\, collaboration\, and risk discipline.\n\n\n\nNavigate the “Frontline Test” of AI: Understand how leading enterprises are governing AI adoption to balance speed with trust\, avoiding the “pilot purgatory” that plagues less mature organizations.\n\n\n\nOperationalize connected risk: Learn specific strategies to break down silos between audit\, risk\, infosec\, and compliance\, creating a unified\, real-time view of risk.\n\n\n\nApply a 3-phase strategic roadmap: Walk away with a concrete plan to establish clear governance\, drive execution discipline\, and scale market leadership within your own organization.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation. CPEs not offered on-demand. \n\n\n\nField of study: Information Technology \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None  \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.

SUMMARY:Crisis-Proofing Cash: A Framework for Corporate Liquidity Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Cash resilience is ultimately measured by one question: can obligations be met when markets are under stress? This session examines how treasury and finance leaders can apply lessons from past market disruptions to evaluate the resilience of their current cash strategy. \n\n\n\nFrom the global financial crisis to the regional bank failures of 2023\, recent crises have demonstrated that not all cash instruments behave uniformly when liquidity tightens. This virtual panel discussion will introduce a practical framework for assessing counterparty exposures\, liquidity assumptions\, and structural risks\, as well as explore how direct ownership of U.S. Treasury bills can support operational continuity when markets shift. \n\n\n\nSession Learning Objectives: \n\n\n\n– Understand where stress-induced liquidity breakdowns most commonly occur across financial instruments and settlement processes– Examine the dynamics of corporate cash availability during a crisis– Learn how to effectively stress test cash strategies to prepare for market turbulence ahead \n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.

SUMMARY:Third-party risk management: Navigating complexity in a volatile world
DESCRIPTION:Webcast overview\n\n\n\nEmerging risks are expanding in scope and severity across third-party ecosystems. Join KPMG leaders for a timely discussion on how organizations are reshaping Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) amid accelerating regulatory demands and cyber threats—and where the biggest execution gaps persist. Drawing on findings from The 2026 KPMG Global Third-Party Risk Management Survey \, our panel will translate the data into practical actions you can take now to strengthen resilience\, elevate confidence\, and modernize your TPRM operating model.  \n\n\n\nSpecifically\, our panel of global TPRM professionals will discuss: \n\n\n\n\nWhy regulatory compliance and cyber risk are now the primary drivers of TPRM strategy—and what that means for prioritization\, investment\, and reporting. \n\n\n\nHow integration with ERM is progressing: about half of the 851 organizations surveyed report “mostly integrated\,” but only one in five have achieved full integration—and how to close the gap. \n\n\n\nThe rise of managed services: four in five organizations outsource core TPRM activities\, yet only 5% use end to end models—plus decision criteria for right sourcing. \n\n\n\nWhere AI is delivering value today—and where it isn’t: more than half are exploring AI for TPRM\, but only one quarter rate it “very effective”; we’ll discuss how to avoid a patchwork of disconnected tools. \n\n\n\nWhy data quality is the differentiator: roughly one in five organizations report top tier data quality\, and these teams are significantly more confident in their TPRM decisions—learn practices to reach that bar. \n\n\n\n\nRead the all-new 2026 KPMG Global TPRM Survey here. \n\n\n\nContinuing education\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThere will be one continuing professional education (CPE) credit available to participants who participate in the live webcast and meet the eligibility requirements. The webcast will last approximately one hour. \n\n\n\nAfter registering for this event\, you will receive webcast log‑in instructions (or dial in for audio‑only participation). \n\n\n\nCPE credit is not available for viewing webcast replay. \n\n\n\nQuestions: If you have questions about this event\, please e-mail KPMG Events & Meetings and reference event code FVNCPZ7CRGN.

Nacha’s new requirements for risk-based bank account validation demand that businesses rethink how supplier accounts are verified before payments are released. Meanwhile\, BEC and fraudulent bank change requests continue to rise\, growing more sophisticated and harder to detect. If your onboarding and verification processes still rely on email\, PDFs\, or manual callbacks\, your organization is exposed. These rules are not optional; they require stronger controls\, modernized workflows\, and decisive action. Join our speakers as they break down what the new Nacha rules require\, how fraud is entering AP workflows\, and the practical steps controllers must take to stay compliant and protected. \n\n\n\n **CPE Eligible**  \n\n\n\nField of Study: Finance  \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic  \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None  \n\n\n\nAdvance Preparation: None required  \n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group Internet-Based  \n\n\n\nRecommended CPE Credit(s): 1  \n\n\n\nEvent Inquiries: For inquiries as well as complaints concerning this webinar\, you are welcome to send an e-mail message to neil@controllerscouncil.org \n\n\n\nPlease note that only those who attend the live webinar will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit in connection with this webinar.

SUMMARY:Optimizing the workforce in the age of AI
DESCRIPTION:CPE Credit: 1 hour for CPAs\n\n\n\nIn this fireside chat with Ginnie Carlier\, EY Americas Vice Chair — Talent\, we’ll explore how organizations are navigating workforce optimization as AI becomes embedded across the world of work. \n\n\n\nAI is much more than a productivity tool — it is reshaping how humans create value at work. As organizations move from experimentation to scale\, leaders must decide not only where we leverage AI\, but also how to do so responsibly and with the goal of elevating human’s capacity to create value not just build efficiencies. \n\n\n\nThrough executive dialogue and real-world examples\, you’ll gain practical perspectives to help you assess where your organization is today and how to move toward a more integrated\, value-driven approach to workforce strategy\, including: \n\n\n\n\nStrategic considerations regarding the deployment of AI: Getting there fast vs getting it right\n\n\n\nHR’s role in organizational AI strategy: Shifting from siloed workforce decisions to a shared optimization mindset\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat work should prioritize: Identifying the greatest areas for ROI in regard to AI investment\n\n\n\nHuman capability augmented by AI: Seeing AI as a means to enhance human contribution rather than replace it\n\n\n\n\nGain insights grounded in the real-world perspective of the EY Americas Vice Chair — Talent\, on how these shifts are showing up in practice — and how leaders can prepare their workforce for what’s next. \n\n\n\nJoin us today! \n\n\n\nPending approval for 1 HRCI\, 1 SHRM\, and 1 CPE credit.
