Bank Accounting: Effective Internal Controls and Enterprise Risk Management - Part 2
June 18, 2025 | 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm EST
What You'll Learn
Part 2 will focus management’s financial statement assertions regarding the accuracy of the financial statements and the link between those assertions and the development of risk and control matrices. The difference between key controls, secondary controls and operating controls will be discussed.
Also provided in Part 2 are several working documents related to building an internal control framework. These documents can provide the participant with a roadmap on how to navigate the process for documenting a system of internal controls that will support management’s financial statement assertions. Also, examples and exercises on how to apply financial statement assertions to common banking transactions and sample risk and control matrices will be provided.
