Session Description:
Now let’s look at the pace of technology, governance, operations and the fact that the pace of technology changes is outpacing our ability to train and in effect creating skills gaps. What are we doing about it? How do organizations address their customer needs and more importantly protect their customers’ personal information and other electronic assets? You also have competition from non-traditional players who can boast lower costs. Organized global networks of hackers and cybercriminals are working at warp speed using innovative technology and don’t have to play by any rules.
The stakes/stakeholders affected here are: Corner suite Needs of your customers Keeping employees engaged and costs under control in an environment where cost pressures, competition and shareholder value create different pressures Your governance Your technology Your skills (or lack thereof) – essentially training and keeping pace Alignment of your business/technology/skills/customer needs/your competition Management alignment with customer needs and ability to deliver
How does Internal Audit become a partner to bridge this gap without compromising their role, deliver value, providing oversight and ensure of your business?
What will undermine everything if not dealt with properly is “Conduct Risk”. What is conduct Risk and how are we dealing with it and stay ahead of the curve?
Please join us in this interactive session where you will be exposed to the new challenges, why our success has been limited and why we need to think differently.
