How To Leverage AI To Boost Internal Controls

"A few months ago, I ran a survey on the top challenges of internal control professionals within my professional network around the globe. 
(Check out the survey here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/1-challenge-internal-control-professionals-locati-fcma-cgma-cfe/?trackingId=Vjvr%2BFt%2B7%2BgAPKifwIiqyw%3D%3D)

Three of the top challenges reported were a “lack of understanding of the importance of internal controls”, a “lack of understanding by the management of their risks and controls responsibilities” and “finding win-win solutions”.

Today Marcel Scholte talks precisely about that and shares his 30+ years of experience. He talks about:
•	his top tips on how to explain why internal controls are vital
•	an easy technique you can use to be persuasive when explaining the importance of internal controls 
•	how to explain to management their responsibility on risks and controls
•	the most effective thing you can do to reach win-win solutions
