Internal audit (IA) projects typically focus on evaluating the risks and operational effectiveness of a company’s technological, regulatory/compliance, and/or financial processes and procedures. Because LDTI and IFRS 17 compliance will require extensive rewiring of existing and possibly the implementation of new processes and procedures to comply with the new accounting requirements, IA will be critical in conducting the initial risk assessment of these changes, monitoring of the process changeover, and conducting a post-implementation validation after conversion.
Explore many specific areas that will be impacted, highlight those aspects likely to be under the IA magnifying glass, and find out how you can best prepare your IA teams to understand the changes and expedite the testing timeframes of their audits.
By attending the session, you will be able to:
• Understand general IA testing approach and framework.
• Identify and address the key processes and procedures likely to be impacted by accounting change.
• Build a communication plan that tailors the level of detail of documentation to the intended audience. (e.g., Leadership and BOD)
• Document decisions made and implemented with IA in mind.
