Student Day Seminar and Forum

February 13, 2003

Are you up to date on the latest things Auditors must consider in Risk Awareness? Are you properly considering the objectives and the risks your corporation is facing to achieve those objectives? The Dallas Chapter will present the answers to these questions and the various perspectives on the trends in Audit’s Role in Risk Management and Awareness from 8:00am to 12:00 noon at CityPlace Conference Center.

Presenters at this seminar will be:

• Howard Johnson, Chief Audit Executive & Senior V.P. for JCPenney, will discuss how internal auditors incorporate risk assessment into all the major aspects of their audit work - from assessing the overall control and governance environment in their organization down to individual audits. Specific topics that will be addressed include: What are the biggest risks facing an organization today? How can auditors help mitigate these risks? What can an audit staff do to be in the best shape to help their company effectively manage risk? How can an audit staff use technology to monitor the control environment in your Company? How can auditors get involved in overall risk management activities?
• Al Bazis of DART and Kathryn Barton of Lone Star Technologies will discuss the latest trends in Control Self-Assessment and how it benefits the organization. If you are considering implementing CSA, you will benefit from this presentation. Mr. Bazis and Mrs. Barton bring experience in successfully implementing CSA in organizations they have been involved with.
• Thomas Keils and Scott Graham of Protiviti Consulting will bring all this together by discussing how you can use this and other information to successfully develop your audit plan to help your organization meet its organizational objectives.
