- Benjamin Quigley, Anthony Casey and Jim Kearney discuss the rise of proactive assurance and why it’s here to stay. The focus typically has been on the past, on assessing and reacting to what has already taken place within an organization – and senior leaders and audit committees have agreed with this mindset. But that perspective is changing. The movement of proactive assurance has been coming for years, and it’s already making a major impact in the world of internal audit, spanning virtually every industry, and it’s likely to stay. Organizations of all size and scope can implement internal audit leading practices.
- The SEC’s latest cybersecurity disclosure is a significant development in the regulation of cybersecurity risk management and reporting. And while only SEC filing organizations are required to comply with the new requirement, all organizations can benefit from understanding the framework. Joe Shusko
