OMB Circular A-123: Internal Controls Training Workshop - Sustaining an Effective Internal Control Program

As federal agencies are implementing internal control programs in accordance with OMB Circular A-123 a new trend is emerging that focuses on assessing the risk associated with key internal controls to focus testing on processes that present the greatest risk. With limited resources federal agencies are focused on administering internal control programs that are efficient and effective, avoid duplication and minimize the burden on staff.

This workshop is designed for the front-line practitioner, manager, or executive who is responsible for sustaining an effective internal controls program. Participants will learn how to efficiently and effectively sustain an internal control program after the initial assessment is complete. Participants will also gain an understanding of the evolution of internal controls, learn about emerging trends and best practices, and gain an understanding of a practical approach to assessing internal controls using a Governance, Risk and Compliance methodology.

We will present very practical information about the federal government�s requirements for internal control programs, and offer insight on integration, risk assessment, testing, internal control software and reporting. The focus of this workshop will be on efficiently meeting OMB Circular A-123 requirements.
