The inability to maintain proper SOD can hamper an organization's ability to deliver service efficiently. Personnel often struggle with the proper concepts of what contributes to SOD. When resources are scarce, the concept is even more difficult.\n\nA separate course titled “Segregation of Duties for the Office of the CFO” highlighted why and how the office of the CFO should pay special attention to the segregation of duties (SOD). This course will delve deeper into core business processes and examine the concepts of which duties should be segregated to provide adequate internal control.\n\nThe basics of segregation of duties indicate that no one individual should be given or assigned job functions in more than one of the following categories:\n\n•\tAsset custody\n•\tAuthorization and approval\n•\tRecordkeeping\n•\tReconciliation\n\nThis course will examine each of the following business processes and discuss key roles/tasks that should be evaluated for proper segregation of duties.\n\n•\tRevenue and receivables\n•\tDisbursement\n•\tProcure to pay\n•\tTreasury and cash\n•\tInventory\n•\tPayroll\n\n\nPrerequisites and Advanced Preparation\n\n•\tSuggested completion of the module on Segregation of Duties for the Office of the CFO","provider":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lynn Fountain"},"image":"https://d3mcncqbjwo6p.cloudfront.net/images/courses/10181/2cf9e0f9c4747d677015282d94a0bd0e.png","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.5,"ratingCount":35,"reviewCount":35},"offers":[{"@type":"Offer","category":"Paid","priceCurrency":"USD","price":189,"oldPrice":416}],"hasCourseInstance":[{"@type":"CourseInstance","courseMode":"Online","courseWorkload":"PT2H","instructor":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lynn Fountain","description":"","image":"https://d3mcncqbjwo6p.cloudfront.net/accounts/1/users/15890/GggtBzpK6n.jpeg"}}],"url":"https://project-management.learnformula.com/course/segregation-of-duties-for-core-business-processes","datePublished":1696184391,"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"PMP®/CAPM® PDUs","url":"https://project-management.learnformula.com"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"Course","name":"Enterprise Risk Management to Achieve Strategy","description":"Strategic plans are often sabotaged by a failure to identify and manage associated risks.

In addition, management's attention and response to hotline calls is an important aspect of maintaining an effective and positive control environment. The Audit Committee of public companies is responsible for ensuring a confidential and effective complaint reporting process and should fully understand processes as well as information that comes through the hotlines.\n\nWith the advent of new regulation that allows whistleblowers to go outside internal lines of defense to report miss-doings, companies should be strategically aware of their programs and the effectiveness and perceptions of their programs. Audit Committees, senior management, and all professionals should understand the important implications that hotlines provide.\n\nWhy Should You Attend:\n\nWhy do we teach history in our schools?

That’s hard enough to deliver under the best of circumstances — and COVID-19 leaves companies performing risk assessments under some of the worst. Clearly fresh risk assessments are necessary. \n\nCOVID-19 has transformed a host of business operations, and that means a host of business risks have changed, too. At the same time, however, your ability to assess those risks has come under strain, often in very practical ways. The purpose of the business assessment is to identify core functions and key people in your business to understand:\n•\tParts of the business most under strain, so you know what to protect.\n•\tOpportunities to boost certain products or services to meet changing customer demand.\n•\tNew ways of working that can benefit both employees and customers\n\nThe question becomes, what specific factors should professionals take into account to perform a business risk assessment in this COVID-19 environment. It is easy to say “everything” has changed but what does that really mean to your business and your strategies?\n\nWho Should Attend: \nAccountants and Finance professionals\nInternal auditors/Professionals considering the role of internal audit\nLegal and Compliance professionals\n\nTopics Covered:\nIn this session we will explore the concept of business risks assessments and how the COVID-19 pandemic had changed the way organizations should approach and execute their assessments. We will review risk factors embedded in the new business environment and discuss the reality of taking this opportunity to pause and take a critical look at your current business so you know what to protect and where to focus your efforts.\n\nField of Study: Auditing","provider":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lynn Fountain"},"image":"https://d3mcncqbjwo6p.cloudfront.net/images/courses/4620/c776d08ced78337ff79ee4eb3b564a44.png","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.4,"ratingCount":23,"reviewCount":23},"offers":[{"@type":"Offer","category":"Paid","priceCurrency":"USD","price":189,"oldPrice":416}],"hasCourseInstance":[{"@type":"CourseInstance","courseMode":"Online","courseWorkload":"PT2H","instructor":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lynn Fountain","description":"","image":"https://d3mcncqbjwo6p.cloudfront.net/accounts/1/users/15890/GggtBzpK6n.jpeg"}}],"url":"https://project-management.learnformula.com/course/effective-business-risk-assessment-in-crisis-time","datePublished":1639676054,"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"PMP®/CAPM® PDUs","url":"https://project-management.learnformula.com"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"item":{"@type":"Course","name":"Auditing AI and ML: Addressing Technology & Compliance Risks","description":"This course provides an in-depth exploration of the auditing frameworks and practices specifically designed for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies.

Most accountants have an understanding of the concept of fraud and how it impacts companies, but many individuals do not have a full comprehension of the variance in the work performed by a forensic accountant versus a typical management accountant. \n\nThis course is meant for those individuals interested in understanding the variances in the job tasks and responsibilities of forensic accountants versus typical financial or management accountants. \n\nForensic accountants or auditors take a unique focus on performing their work. Typically, when a person with forensic experience is called in to examine financial records, it is due to suspicion of fraud, evaluation of assets, or even to track down fundamentally incorrect accounting – intentional or not.\n\nAs fraud continues to raise its head in business processes, forensic accountants are discovering new and unique ways to identify, examine, and support their hypotheses and investigative techniques. The work performed by a forensic specialist can be interesting and full of potential potholes if evidence isn’t examined according to proper protocols and standards.\n\nIn this course, we examine the many processes and roles of the forensic accountant. We discuss rules of evidence and the accountant’s potential need to testify in a court of law. Learners will come away with an understanding of the world of forensic accounting and the many ways in which it may differ from the typical accountant’s role.\n\nField of Study: Auditing","provider":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lynn Fountain"},"image":"https://d3mcncqbjwo6p.cloudfront.net/images/courses/3658/bd93e7afbc6b60b91ad7935f1b3cadf2.png","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.5,"ratingCount":213,"reviewCount":213},"offers":[{"@type":"Offer","category":"Paid","priceCurrency":"USD","price":130,"oldPrice":286}],"hasCourseInstance":[{"@type":"CourseInstance","courseMode":"Online","courseWorkload":"PT1.5H","instructor":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lynn Fountain","description":"","image":"https://d3mcncqbjwo6p.cloudfront.net/accounts/1/users/15890/GggtBzpK6n.jpeg"}}],"url":"https://project-management.learnformula.com/course/introduction-to-forensic-accounting","datePublished":1615239094,"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"PMP®/CAPM® PDUs","url":"https://project-management.learnformula.com"}}}]}
