As organizations plan to emerge from the impact of COVID-19, they are now preparing for a challenging year for growth while still experiencing major shifts in day-to-day operations. All business functions and departments, in particular internal audit, external audit firms, legal, and compliance, are quickly adapting to shifting priorities which may require operating in non-traditional ways. During this session, Protiviti will lead a discussion on the evolving control environment and how organizations have become more agile in delivering real-time business support.
 
Learning Objectives
  • Understand the evolving role of business owners and assurance/audit functions (both internal and external) in response to large scale crisis situations.
  • Outline shifting priorities for accounting functions working to deliver more with the same team and deadlines.
  • Describe how best to connect with stakeholders to identify the business areas with the highest need of support.
  • Discuss the urgent need to identify and adopt more data and technology driven ways of working, including the “agile audit” mindset.
  • Consider the new equilibrium that will exist as organizations transition post-pandemic.
