Panel Discussion: The Challenges of Enterprise Risk Management

It's no longer a best practice to have a formal enterprise risk management program in place... it's a prerequisite. Organizations need to proactively identify and catalog potential vulnerabilities in their environment that could be exploited intentionally or accidentally (i.e., threats) resulting in loss, and assess if appropriate controls are in place to mitigate the threats to an acceptable level.

Jay Meglich, Schneider Downs Audit and Assurance Shareholder, will present an economic and industry update and discuss regulatory developments, as well as current and future audit and accounting considerations.

Accounting Update
