Internal auditing is a critical corporate governance function for financial institutions.  It is also a great way for future managers to learn about banking.  However, some institutions find that in today’s resource constrained and highly regulated environment, new internal auditors are asked to wear many hats – and some of those hats may help more with learning banking operations than ensuring corporate governance requirements are met.

That is why all employees that are assigned to the internal audit function should have a solid understanding of the scope of the internal audit function and the specific requirements and responsibilities that must be covered to satisfy the board of director’s needs as well as to meet the regulator’s and external auditor’s expectations.

The learning objectives for this important webinar are designed to assist institutions with training and educating new internal auditors with understanding their roles and responsibilities related to corporate governance.  

These learning objectives include:

• Meeting regulatory requirements
• Dealing with expanding internal audit responsibilities
• Ensuring adequate scope of audit coverage
• Maintaining effective internal audit programs
• Implementing risk-based audit procedures
• Developing effective audit reports
• Developing workpaper documentation standards
• Establishing effective audit committee communications

Sheshunoff interactive webinars are 90 minutes long and include a 30-minute Q&A session with the expert so you may ask questions specific to your institution. Handouts are made available 48 hours prior to the conference and certificates of attendance may be requested for all attendees. While webinars may be attended in an audio-only format, we encourage you to take advantage of the interactive features in the webinar.
