Risk Management: Internal Controls & Fraud Prevention - Part 2 Webinar (2 Hours)

Overview: 

Many organizations have gone through extensive efforts to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and other internal control regulations to ensure accuracy in their financial statements.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Define acceptable levels of risk and the accountant’s role in risk management
  • Identify fraud and other risk factors
  • Strengthen controls, limit risk and prevent fraud

  • Defining risk and quantifying acceptable levels of risk
