A maturity continuum approach to auditing helps management see how effective its controls really are. This 60-minute webinar introduces the Comparative Effectiveness Matrix, a tool for raising issues during audit and risk management reviews.
The matrix combines best practices with audit techniques and risk management approaches. By comparing current control effectiveness with expectations, industry best practices and ideal conditions, management can define its own maturity model for risk and controls, then map progress toward a level that fits its philosophy, while still linking to industry practice.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The matrix supports communication and presentation, particularly when issues are sensitive. You'll learn to apply it to current processes using industry-based information sources, cross-reference structure to risk and controls, define process steps, gather evidence for positioning, and build action plans to move up the maturity scale.
It suits auditors and audit leaders, risk managers and leaders, executives, consultants, quality assurance staff and business analysts.
