The impact of the pandemic will have a long-lasting effect on the workplace: Handshakes, face-to-face meetings and document reviews have been replaced with virtual interactions and digital transactions. Brick and mortar organizations” are faced with going digital to survive.

From an audit perspective, the new digital world and culture shift is reshaping risk assessments and audit plan considerations. Audit processes will be prioritized and require more scrutiny. And internal audit will have to retool their staff and skills to meet these new audit challenges.

In this live webinar, the former VP Internal Audit at Nasdaq, Lenny Block, will address changing risk profiles and internal audit readiness in the following areas:

• Business Continuity - Adequate networking in home offices
• Talent Sourcing and Development - Sourcing, retention and professional development 
• Real Estate and Remote Access - Performance and capacity planning for network and server Infrastructure
• Customer Delivery - Upgrading inhouse systems and operations for optimal information sharing
