ACCA UK Internal Audit webinars available on demand now

ACCA UK’s Internal Audit Network webinar programme for the year is now available on demand.

 

Internal Audit and technology - managing common problems and barriers

 

Dr Andrew Davidson of Johnston Carmichael covers the following issues for Internal Audit with technology and for each area, he looks at the concern for Internal Audit and the solution:

 

  • Expectation gap - management thinks that new software will do everything, solve all problems and give 100% reliable answers
  • Training and change - staff can be reluctant to change to a new way of doing things
  • Ongoing monitoring - it is rare that new technologies are implemented flawlessly and work exactly as anticipated
  • Data management - for software technologies, the data required (or produced) may be more or less than that required by the business
  • Techno-joy - people may use software despite it not being relevant and try to force it to do the job.

 

The Next Generation of Internal Auditing

In this webinar, the team at Protiviti explain how they are using Active Assurance as a strategy to remain relevant in a very dynamic environment. The session includes a demonstration of their tool for process mining and showcases other next generation tools that they are currently leveraging when supporting their clients with their assurance agenda.

Protiviti can offer further support on Active Assurance during this time of uncertainty.

Mental health and wellbeing

With the right tools, they can leverage their unique ability to look right across all areas of a company and ensure positive mental health and wellbeing for everyone alongisde company growth and sucess. Victoria Fellowes of StrideForth eplores how they can do this.

Auditing agile

Alison Booth and Mark Paton of Pelicam Assured Delivery explain how auditing agile can align project risk and corporate governance.

Climate Change

Internal Audit has a role to play in determining whether stakeholder reporting about climate change is accurate, and to challenge the data presented. Sonia Shah and Sylvia Ashley of Grant Thornton look at the key considerations.
