On-Demand Webinar! How a University Audit Team Became Senior Leadership's Trusted Advisors

When it comes to building a relationship, first impressions matter. Getting a foot in the door for management approval on new technology is no different. When the audit team at Cornell University embarked on the journey to implement continuous assurance they took a different approach to the conversation and emphasized one key message: be timely and relevant.

By finding the sweet spot between continuous auditing and continuous monitoring, what they call “timely assurance”, the team at Cornell is now seen as a strategic partner to the C-suite and management across campus, as well as a trusted partner with data providers, subject matter experts and technology staff.

Join us for this 60-minute webinar where Mark A. Perry, Audit Director from the Audit Office at Cornell University, and Curtis Josey Jr, Data Analytics Manager from the Audit Office at Cornell University, share how their audit team:

  • Built a trusted relationship with management
  • Overcame challenges with data acquisition
  • Evolved their audit technology usage to be repeatable, sustainable and transferable to management
  • Measured qualitative signs of success
  • Plans to expand their assurance program in the future!
