Updates to COSO’s Internal Control - Integrated Framework Geoffrey Woodbury, PwC Risk Assurance Director and Nicole Rodriguez, PwC Risk Assurance Manager
Objective: In May 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) updated and enhanced the
widely accepted Internal Control - Integrated Framework (Framework). The
Framework was enhanced by expanding the financial reporting category of
objectives to include other important forms of reporting, such as non-financial
and internal reporting. Also, the Framework reflects considerations of
many changes in the business and operating environments over the past several
decades since the original framework was released.
The purpose of this
session is to explain the updates to the Framework and to provide recommended
actions for Internal Audit departments to consider as they transition to the new
Framework.

XBRL: What’s in it for Auditors? Jeff Henson, CPA; Manager Finance Operations and XBRL Subject Matter Expert
Background & Objective: The smallest of public companies are
completing the multi-year phase-in of XBRL formatted SEC reporting, the last
phase of which is a move from liability “as-furnished” to liability “as-filed”
status. The result of the passage of this last phase is that XBRL formatted SEC
filings now carry the same legal liability as traditionally formatted SEC
filings. With this in mind, is there a role for audit to play in the preparation
of XBRL formatted filings? Is there a way to capitalize on all of the XBRL data
that has been generated? Could there be a way for companies to utilize XBRL
internally to gain greater access to fast and accurate business information?
Should auditors care about XBRL at all?
The purpose of this session is to explain what XBRL is, why we must deal with
it, how it can be utilized and the role auditors should play in XBRL formatted
reporting.
No prerequisites required.

IIA Research Foundation
The IIA Research Foundation has recently published Global
Corruption Law Compliance Report. Today's
middle-market executives operate in an increasingly
interconnected economy, distributing and selling products
around the world more than ever before. Advances in
technology have increased access and potential for growth,
but have also exposed businesses to a higher level of
bribery and corruption risks. In response, government
entities have established a more stringent regulatory
environment, led by increased enforcement of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the enactment of the U.K.
Bribery Act.
With these challenges in mind, McGladrey, in conjunction with The
Institute of Internal Auditors Research Foundation, has developed
the Global Corruption Law Compliance Report. In an era of
globalization, companies must be vigilant about compliance with
tougher laws and regulations against bribery and corrupt business
activities. The costs of ignoring such activity is high, as
fines and investigations impact a company financially while
reputational damage can result in lost customers and business
partners.
When was the last time you renewed your IIA membership? Have you
wanted to become an IIA member, but have been putting it off to some
other time? Well, good news, there is no better time than now to
become a member of the IIA! The Dallas Chapter is currently the 5th
largest chapter in North America for membership and we want to be
number 1! Only the New York, Houston, Toronto, and Chicago Chapters
have more members than Dallas. Help us reach our goal by renewing
your membership or joining the IIA today!

Chapter member completes will earn the Chapter 1 credit per CPD
hour. Each full article, Roundtable article, Fraud Finding,
etc. submitted that meets basic editorial guidelines will earn 5
