1 Objectives
..................................................................................................................................................................................

This programme will provide a practical approach to fulfil regulatory requirements based on the guidance issued in 2006 by the COSO organization entitled "Internal control over Financial Reporting: Guidance for Smaller Companies". However the seminar will also develop a "beyond compliance" approach to help companies maximize the returns of their investment on internal control. It will particularly help organizations without an internal audit function conduct internal control reviews, either regulatory or at the request of management, in the context of pre or post-merger acquisition or the post-implementation of an ERP system
