SUMMARY:Managing the Merger of Cybersecurity and Accounting Controls
DESCRIPTION:Compliance and financial reporting teams have spent decades refining their approach to internal controls—but the growing intersection of IT and finance has introduced new risks and challenges. \n\n\n\nAs cyber threats escalate and regulatory expectations increase – including data privacy laws – internal audit teams must now evaluate cybersecurity risks as part of their internal control environment\, which impacts finance teams and others across the organization. \n\n\n\nThis session will unpack the rising need for “internal cybersecurity controls” and how compliance teams can effectively design\, test\, and document them. Gain insights into the challenges posed by cybersecurity controls\, how auditors assess them\, and what organizations can do to strengthen their approach. \n\n\n\nStay following the webinar for live Q&A with Matt Kelly and Brian Tremblay to get answers to your questions. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this webinar and live Q&A session\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the growing role of cybersecurity in financial reporting and internal control frameworks.\n\n\n\nIdentify key challenges in designing\, testing\, and documenting cybersecurity controls.\n\n\n\nExplore how auditors evaluate cybersecurity risks in the context of SOX compliance.\n\n\n\nLearn strategies for integrating cybersecurity and accounting controls efficiently.\n\n\n\nGain practical steps to enhance collaboration between internal audit\, IT\, and compliance teams.\n\n\n\n\nDuration: 90 mins \n\n\n\nCPE: 1 credit \n\n\n\nField of Study: Information Technology \n\n\n\nMore CPE information →
