Pentana would very much welcome an opportunity to speak at your monthly chapter meetings to help your members understand how technology can assist them and what tools are available in the marketplace, from data analytics through to risk management tools and audit management packages. We have developed a number of presentations around these themes that we will be happy to share with you at your chapter meetings free of charge. These are not sales pitches, they are intended to be educational sessions designed to meet the new and evolving challenges in Internal Audit.

 

Using Technology for Audit Commitee Reporting

Audit Committee reporting presents a regular challenge to any Head of Internal Audit. It is often time-consuming and fraught with risk as the data has to be accurate, relevant, properly explained in context, and increasingly driven from the risk profile. How can technology help you streamline the reporting process, ensure content accuracy and involve the business in an appropriate manner? This presentation featured at SOPAC 2009, where it was well-received and sparked some interesting discussions.

 

Co-ordinating Assurance Across the Organization

In any company a number of different functions will be undertaking assurance of one sort or another. This will include Internal and External Audit, Risk Management, as well as other functions such as Business Operations, Safely Officers, QA, branch inspectors and so on. How can Internal Audit harness this assurance to produce a co-ordinated assurance plan, avoiding duplication, and taking the lead in assurance reporting? Based on a case-study in a large organization, this presentation will spark debate about the future role of Internal Audit.

 

GRC and what it means to Internal Audit

GRC is here to stay, what does it mean for Internal Audit and what is our role in implementing a GRC solution. Is it possible to audit GRC and how should we go about it? This presentation is relevant to local chapters trying to get to grips with GRC and explains some of the efforts being taken to ensure products in the GRC marketplace are consistent in terminology and cover the relevant areas..

 

Successfully Implementing Software in an Internal Audit Function

This presentation is based on the experiences of one of our larger clients in the USA, who implemented our tool in order to drive a more risk-based approach to Internal Audit. What are the issues to be considered and the pitfalls to avoid? How do you go about selecting a tool, implementing it successfully, and reaping the inherent productivity benefits?
