Effective Use of the COSO Framework - 16 CPEs

Our approach for this in-person training event is to provide the relevant information which internal control professionals will need to fulfill the "Internal Control Life Cycle" using the "top-down, risk-based" approach.

We provide the background knowledge sources, advice on how to conduct risk assessments, discuss scoping, and review how to plan the assessment of an internal control framework based on COSO. Risk management activities are the key process to determine the requirement of the ICFR assessment program. The program deliverables should lead to management's opining on the status of the internal control framework in reference to the SOX requirements.
