The event will be held on December 11-12, 2012 at New York. Leading audit experts will gather at the event to address the challenges that internal auditors face, discuss key trends in the financial market, and share internal audit best practices. At the conference, MetricStream executives will be leading a session on “Data Analytics.”
Organizations today find themselves in a complex business environment where they are exposed to a variety of risks such as the growing compliance regulations, fraud schemes, operational inefficiencies, and other security issues that could lead to financial and reputational damage. This has forced organizations to look at innovative and practical approaches to assess and mitigate risks. Data analytics has long been considered as an effective strategy to simplify auditing processes and saving on cost and resources. Through data analytics, organizations are able to track every transaction, leading to better operational performance, greater risk and control insight, and improved audit quality. But the challenge facing the organizations is employing the right tools and technology to get the most out of data analytics. During the session, the speakers will share insights on building a mature and sustainable data analytics process, and how internal auditors can benefit from it.
