A Practical Approach to Internal Controls

The Green Book sets the standards for an effective internal control system for federal agencies and is a crucial safeguard over public resources. State, local, and quasi-governmental entities, as well as not-for-profit organizations, may adopt the new Green Book standards as a framework for an internal control system.

This four-hour CPE seminar provides an overview of the principles-based Green Book and of a system of internal controls which uses COSO 2013 framework as its basis. COSO 2013 defines internal controls as being within five components and seventeen principles. The education process covers the interrelationships presented within the COSO 2013 framework and how to approach the classification of controls within the framework.

The Green Book has a different focus for compliance within the COSO framework in line within the governmental environment needs. This virtual event provides an overview of the GAO Green Book and how to address compliance with it. This 4 CPE seminar is for government professionals and auditors. Attendees are not required to have a detailed knowledge of operations, risks, controls, auditing, compliance or The Green Book. However, by the end of the class, each attendee should absorb an understanding of these areas, as well as how to apply the updated Green Book controls and principles to a governmental organization and Yellow Book audits.

Our seminars are as entertaining as they are informative. Sit back and enjoy; be engaged and educated in a casual atmosphere of information exchange. We will not bore you! You can request this event for any day at any time with two attendees.

Each attendee will receive 4 CPE Hours (YB). A certificate of completion will be provided.
