Overview:
This webinar gives accounting and finance professionals an integrated view of the risk landscape they’re now expected to manage.
You'll get a current view of compliance requirements (SOX, SEC, PCAOB, ESG, cybersecurity, anti-fraud), proven strategies for identifying and mitigating financial and operational risks, and an honest discussion of the biggest challenges finance leaders are facing in today’s environment. The session closes with a forward look at where workplace-safety risk, AI-driven fraud, and emerging regulations are heading and how finance teams should prepare.
Why you should Attend:
Finance and accounting leaders who don’t modernize their risk-management approach are exposing themselves and their organizations to material restatements, regulatory enforcement, fraud losses, and reputational damage. Boards and audit committees increasingly expect finance to take the lead on enterprise-wide risk topics-including workplace safety as a financial risk-and controllers who can’t demonstrate that command will see those responsibilities (and the seat at the table) go elsewhere.
