Corporate Culture's Impact of Governance, Risk, and Compliance

Thursday, October 18, 2012 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM

Hanover Manor 16 Eagle Rock Ave., East Hanover, NJ 07936

Today’s business entities must have an ethical culture to meet regulatory and public expectations. This includes a leadership and staff that promote and support organizational governance, risk management, and compliance with applicable policies, procedures, laws and regulations. Governance programs are expected by external auditing firms and regulators including government agencies, stock markets, and insurers of executive officers. Failure to provide adequate governance could result in negative audit reports, poor performance, stakeholder investigations, and bad publicity.

During this session, a list of best practices for the areas listed above will be provided, along with examples of how the practices positively impact organizations. In this seminar, we will discuss the critical issues to be considered:

• Why Governance, Risk Management and Compliance are important to organizations;

• What is included in Governance, including ethics and related definitions;

• The basics and different approaches to Risk Management;

• Different types of Compliance programs and their importance to the organization;

• Reasons why organizations have breakdowns in ethical culture; and

• List best practices for organizational Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance with examples that

identify the positive impact the practices promote.

Fees are $150 for ISACA members and $250 for non-members. For further information and to register to attend this event, click here.

Evaluating IT Security Management Thursday, Nov 15, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM

Chubb & Son 15 Mountain View Road, Warren, NJ 07059

A good percentage of audit scope relates to information security. The internal auditor is also responsible for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of the information security function as part of their audit universe. A mature information security function will translate into reduced fieldwork.

ISO 31000 is the new standard for managing and assessing risk. But what is the risk associated with IT security management itself?

An inadequate level of skill or competence in IT security management can lead to serious negative consequences for the enterprise, including:

1. Inability to comply with statutes and regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, FISMA, PCI-DSS, GLBA, Basel II, and governmental entities

2. Lack of preparedness for security incidents and inability to execute a timely recovery 3. Higher audit and insurance costs
