OVERVIEW: In ARMA International's Information Governance Implementation Model (IGIM) 2.0 provides for Authorities including Risk Tolerance and Standards/Practices as well as others and a Procedural Framework that includes Policies, Procedures, Rules, Guidelines, and Accountability. As an IG leader, where do these come into play beyond your program's framework? Audits and examinations by internal and external groups provide independent assessments of your program in terms of risk management, governance, conformity with internal controls, regulatory compliance, uncovering waste or fraud, as well as for other purposes.
This presentation will examine these processes, how your program will benefit from these assessments, and provide a "What to expect from an audit" perspective.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the purpose of audit functions and how that intersects with your IG program
- Understand various aspects of audit functions and how they will interact with your IG program
- Prepare for the inevitable scrutiny your IG program will encounter during an audit or examination
Three Guaranteed Audience Takeaways:

- Use their results to benefit your program
- Preparation is essential. A well-prepared business unit eases the examination process, demonstrates commitment to your organization's mission and generates trust.
