Event overview

For companies facing challenges with their internal control environment or new to the public company ecosystem, identifying and remediating significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in financial reporting requires a strategic approach.  

While people and processes remain critical components of effective internal control environments, technology is increasingly emerging as a root cause of internal control challenges. With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently issuing new cybersecurity disclosure rules, the risks and reporting requirements from a technology perspective are greater than ever before. 

Join RSM US LLP's webcast on Wednesday, Jan. 29, for an in-depth exploration of best practices and case studies for remediating significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in financial reporting. Our panelists will discuss strategies to address technological root causes and provide insights on complying with the SEC's new cybersecurity disclosure requirements to help minimize your remediation efforts.
