Part 2: The COSO 2013 Internal Control integrated Framework (Day 3 - Day 4)
COSO’s 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework (IC-IF) is a useful tool to
improve an organization’s internal control infrastructure while increasing the
likelihood of achieving organizational objectives. In this interactive two-day
program, you will learn how this principles-based approach can be deployed
successfully in your organization. Participants will examine the implications for
business leaders, process owners, managers, and both internal and external
auditors.
Participants will review the differences between the 1992, the 2004 and the
updated 2013 model, the implications on the system of internal controls, and
acquire the tools necessary to effectively design, implement, and evaluate your
organization’s system of internal controls. More than that, however, you will also
learn how to look beyond internal controls and use the framework as a
management tool to increase efficiency and effectiveness; enhance corporate
governance and anti-fraud programs; improve risk management processes; and
better manage your external business relationships.
Course participants will acquire the necessary skills to perform an assessment
of their organizations, and learn how to apply the seventeen principles and
their related points of focus.
Part 1: Fraud Control: Preventing & Detecting Fraud (Day 1 - Day 2)
Reports from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, major public
accounting firms, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Transparency
International (TI) and others indicate that fraud and corruption are major global
problems.
While internal auditors must have sufficient knowledge to evaluate the risk of
fraud and the manner in which it is managed by the organization, all employees
should be familiar with fraud risks and how they can support the implementation
of effective controls and antifraud programs. Fraud goes beyond the
misstatement of financial reports; it also includes the misappropriation of assets
and gaining personal gain by harming the organization or others.
The expectations regarding fraud awareness are increasing and employees
should be familiar with revenue, expenditure, inventory, cash, accounts
receivable, journal entries, management override and vendor fraud schemes,
among others.
In general, we must adapt our thinking and methods since fraud at the
organizational level erodes economic value and contributes to the proliferation
of corruption at the macro level. We cannot wait for auditors to detect and
investigate fraud after it has occurred, but also be proactive and help the
organization deter and prevent it.
Course participants will learn the fundamentals of fraud, identify troublesome
conditions and be able to incorporate that knowledge into their process
design, risk assessments and control activities.
