Wednesday, November 14, 2018 -- Corporate Culture Our IIA NOVA Chapter is proud to host two market leaders from Protiviti for the November 14th Program -- Michael Seek and George Magowan -- as they present on:
Corporate Culture. Ethical Culture. Organizational Culture. Risk Culture. Today’s workplace culture is viewed through a variety of lenses, measured through multiple models and shaped through shared experience. We all witness the negative headlines when things go wrong, and often the culture of an organization is highlighted as a contributing factor. The impact of culture on work-place conduct, productivity, performance, internal controls and risk management, have brought the topic front and center for boards and management teams. Join us for a discussion and practical insights on how we, as Internal Auditors, can help management and the Audit Committee evaluate and understand organizational culture. Topics include:
• Oversight and ownership of culture
• Culture in context of strategic objectives and internal controls
• Characteristics of a healthy culture
• Red flags indicative of a culture problem
• Tools and techniques commonly used to evaluate culture
• Reporting to Management and the Board on culture
• Knowledge and skillsets that contribute to successful cultural assessments
