NCET Biz Cafe | Lauren Slemenda, How a diverse workforce improves your bottom...Archersan
Concepts like diversity and inclusion are important; but they’re more than just buzzwords, and they can and do impact your bottom line.
We’d love to show you the whys and hows at the September Biz Café, which will begin with a presentation by diversity consultant Lauren Slemenda and conclude with a panel discussion from experts representing traditionally underserved groups.
That’s right: We’re shaking things up in September and transforming Biz Café into a Q/A panel discussion! So come armed with your questions — maybe even those you’ve been uncomfortable asking before, like:
• What the heck does cisgender mean?
• Will hiring someone with a disability end up costing me more money in training, insurance or equipment?
• Doesn’t hiring a more diverse workforce open me up to potential discrimination suits?
• How do I find people of color who have the skills I need?
In this Biz Café — “How a diverse workforce improves your bottom line” — here are some of the takeaways, as facilitated by Lauren and our panel:
• Learn which techniques for boosting diversity work, which ones don’t, and how you can start taking steps today towards a more equitable and synergistic workplace.
• We’ll discuss new, innovative techniques that research has shown to be effective, including universal design and bystander intervention, and dive into why traditional approaches like day-long diversity workshops might actually be making things worse.
• We’ll also talk about how things you might not think of as “diversity initiatives” (like setting realistic timelines for projects and encouraging lifelong learning) are powerful tools in creating a corporate culture that supports and sustains equity and inclusion.

Presentation given at the IoD Oxford Leadership Breakfast on Wednesday 27 November 2013
If you have ever wanted to find out more about the opportunities offered by taking up a Non-Executive Director position, as well as how to find one and whether you’d be suited to the role – now’s your chance! David Doughty - a Chartered Director and director of Executive Transitions - will give you the highlights in a lively breakfast session at Oxford Brookes Restaurant.
David has a wealth of experience in roles varying from his directorship of the Executive Transitions Network – helping people develop a portfolio career - to his time as Chief Executive of the Oxfordshire Economic Partnership. This breakfast session is an opportunity to explore the realities of NED positions, deal with a few myths about
the status of NEDs and see how you would respond to some typical scenarios, were you to be a NED on a company’s board.
How to Convert Strategy into Behaviors that Move the NeedlePaige Pulaski
In this webinar recording, you will learn:
> The biggest mistake organizations make in the goal-setting process
> How a strong goal-setting process defines the right activities for you team
> Best practices to cement critical behaviors into the fabric of your culture
> Are you under pressure to deliver big results this year? If you’re struggling to execute your plan, you can still get back on track before the end of Q2, and hit your critical KPIs.
Unrealized results and off-track plans are all too common. We know this. That’s what frustrates leaders most: the gap between knowing what to do and actually being able to get it done.
As John Kotter states in The Heart of Change, “[T]he central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems,…[b]ut the core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people.”
Watch this webinar recording to get three specific steps from Todd Garretson you can take right now – wherever you are in the plan execution process – to create a culture of execution within your organization. It’s not too late to reroute and mobilize your workforce, and start moving the needle on your most important initiatives.
Systems Audit is another area of Assurance for an Assurance professional. Auditing a Computer Environment is just as important as auditing the books of accounts.
Hence it is important for a Chartered Accountant to provide sufficient assurance to the stakeholders having interest, that the internal controls deployed in the IT Environment as well as in the Non IT Environment operate effectively.

Internal Controls over Indian Financial ReportingBharath Rao
Corporate Accountability has been gaining its momentum in the Indian Scenario. The Companies Act 2013 has now benchmarked itself to regulations like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and stresses on the fact the auditor has to give an opinion on the Internal controls that handle Financial Data and are operating effectively. Section 134 and Section 143 of the Companies Act 2013 highlights the requirements for documenting, implementing, enforcing and auditing those internal controls which handle Financial Data.
This article provides an introduction of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting in the Indian perspective.
