Practical Guidance: Understanding the Implications of GRC Convergence
Bruce McCuaig, CA, CIA, CCSA, Chief Risk Officer, Paisley
Marty Clough, Director, Product Management, Paisley
Faced with oversight failures in financial disclosure, mounting regulatory criticism and increasing pressure to eliminate redundant costs, organizations are driven to develop an enterprise-wide structured approach to integrate the disciplines of governance, risk and compliance.
Early adopters are learning that GRC convergence will fundamentally change the role of those providing organizational oversight, the tools they use and the relationship with colleagues and customers.
Join Bruce and Marty at this workshop to:
- Obtain a practical understanding of what GRC convergence means
- Understand the key changes that must accompany GRC convergence and how they will drive value to the organization
- Determine the steps to apply GRC disciplines throughout an organization
- Learn how taking a systematic approach to converging GRC can reduce costs, increase employee accountability and address stakeholder demands
- Gain insight on how leading organizations are approaching GRC convergence

A Critical Look at Traditional Audit Universe Risk Rating Factors and the Impact of Convergence
Bruce McCuaig, CA, CIA, CCSA, Chief Risk Officer, Paisley
Marty Clough, Director, Product Management, Paisley
Join Bruce and Marty as they analyze the internal control deficiency disclosures of accelerated SOX filers and challenge internal auditor assumptions about where risks lie and how to better prioritize an audit universe.
In the world of convergence and GRC, risk rating the converged universe will be even more complex. More stakeholders will have more variables to consider. How will overlap be avoided? How will the "white space" between different assurance groups be minimized? How will efficiencies be achieved?
Attend this workshop to gain insight into:
- How controls work in modern public companies
- The role and performance of internal auditors
- Areas for internal audit improvement
- How to better identify risk factors in a converged universe
Big risks can lurk under small rocks, and the indicators of big risks are often ignored.or overlooked in planning.
