The Holiday Inn The Atrium
A 2 day workshop to convince you of the importance of good controls both for business reasons and for regulatory compliance with a practical focus to enable you to take good practice to your workplace.
In an increasingly regulated corporate world many organisations need assistance making necessary changes to their business practices. Internal controls are no longer a regime for finance staff but all management who are required to take ownership of and sign off on controls. The challenge however is to understand how you can create a strong control environment in your organisation and how you can practically implement an Internal Control framework.
This course is your first building block in a strong structure called internal control that allows you to achieve your business, financial reporting and compliance objectives. Course material is based on a strong methodology grounded in regulations associated with Corporate Governance and the COSO framework.

- Be convinced of the importance of good control both for business reasons and regulatory compliance
