Thought leadership webinar

From controls chaos to controls assurance.

Watch on-demand

Think of controls as the safety net for your organization – are there holes in your net? Do you want to find out after someone falls through, or to check that the net is effective first? 

Controls management is an integral part of risk and compliance management but can often end up in disarray.

  • Controls can proliferate, leading to unnecessary duplication.
  • The purpose of the controls themselves may not be fully understood, and testing methods can be inconsistently applied.
  • Additionally, there is often limited visibility over the control assurance program – a strong level of assurance promotes confidence which can enable smart risk-taking. 


Protecht’s Chief Research & Content Officer, David Tattam, and our Research & Content Lead, Michael Howell explore how you can build a robust controls assurance program and bring it to life.

If you have ever questioned the effectiveness of your internal controls or worry about redundant or misunderstood controls and inconsistent testing methods, this webinar is designed for you.
