Business best practices, regulations and standards all require organizations to build and document sound internal controls. Certainly not a new concept, 'Internal Controls' have come to mean many things to so many diverse business audiences. And by late 2025, decades-old models like COSO and similar frameworks that were supposed to be the comprehensive all-in solution have simply not kept up with the speed of emerging risks and opportunities.

In this session, we'll examine the broad concept of business internal controls - what they are and especially what they aren't. We'll look at what works in business plus address the recurring reasons controls fail. Last, we'll build an action checklist to close the divide between control purpose and control results.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what business internal controls are - and what they most definitely are not.
• Explore meaningful hard control procedures and soft control behaviors.
• Analyze the real reasons all controls fail over time - even in your organization.
• Discover why & how to build a "How do I know?" culture at key control points.
• Explore options for teaching employees at all levels about Why a control is important - before addressing the How and When of the procedure.
