Change equals risk. With changes comes an increase in risk. The increased risk can be temporary while we work through the change, or it can be permanent. It is our job to determine which. We are in unprecedented times and experiencing a time of significant change for all organizations. The work that we have done, the risk assessments, the forecasts, the audits, all need to be revisited and spot checked to take into consideration what has changed and how it has impacted our assessment of risk and exposure for our organizations. This course will examine how auditors and fraud examiners should revisit risk assessments, recent audits and identify the changes, adaptions, and work-arounds organizations have had to leverage fraud risk and what can be done to prevent, detect and deter fraud during these new circumstances.
