CFO Series: Making Internal Audit an Asset for the CFO

Description

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) created a specific deliverable for Internal Audit causing many CFOs to underutilize this important resource by not focusing on the other areas where Internal Audit can improve controls and productivity and reduce cost and risk.

In this session, veteran Chief Audit Executive Charles Silvey will discuss often overlooked opportunities for internal audit to add value.
