WORKSHOP 1: THE DARK TRIAD OF ETHICALITY: HOW ILLUSORY SUPERIORITY, BOUNDED ETHICALITY, AND CONFIRMATION BIAS IMPACT ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING

WORKSHOP 2: DETECTING DECEPTION: THE BODY TELLS A STORY, BUT THE CHANCES OF READING IT ACCURATELY ARE PROBLEMATIC?

The Dark Triad of Ethicality: How Illusory Superiority, Bounded Ethicality, and Confirmation Bias Impact Ethical Decision-Making – While financial professionals often have the best intentions, certain mental processes can interfere with our objectivity. Three particular maladies, referred to as illusory superiority, bounded ethicality and confirmation bias, can indirectly lead fraud examiners to flawed conclusions and examinations — which can directly affect their credibility. In this session, fraud examiners will learn methods to ensure that they conduct a fair and impartial fraud examination to the best of their abilities.

You will learn how to:

  • Create mental triggers to improve ethical outcomes
  • Determine how perception affects decision-making
  • Evaluate methods to mitigate the negative effects of power and myopic vision
  • Identify the effects of abstraction on risk assessment and mitigation
  • Generate different perspectives and frames to improve objectivity

Detecting Deception: The Body Tells A Story, But The Chances of Reading It Accurately Are Problematic?  – Interviewers have been taught for years to rely on non-verbal behaviors to assist in detecting deception when interviewing witnesses and suspects, but what happens if your interpretations of these signals are flawed?  In this interactive block of instruction, you will test your ability to detect deception, discuss the latest scientific research concerning the reliability of detecting deception through someone’s non-verbal behaviors, and learn how to apply certain social psychological behaviors that could improve your chances of detecting deception in interviews.

Learning Objectives:  After this block of instruction, the participants will be able to:

  • Define baseline behavior.
  • Develop methods to improve focus.
  • Evaluate methods to increase an investigator’s attention span.
  • Define emotional leakage.
  • Determine best practices to detect deception in the interview process.
  • Implement the rule of reciprocity in interview sessions.
  • Create methods to leverage the consistency principle in interviews.

WORKSHOP: CONDUCTING INTERNAL AUDITS USING ERM

IIA Global Board Chair Benito Ybarra, CIA, CISA, CFE, CCEP will discuss how risk-based auditing – using the methodology prescribed in enterprise risk management – can improve the value of audit results. He will facilitate a highly interactive workshop where participants will utilize table discussions to explore topics like: how to use the risk register and past ERM results to identify applicable assets to consider during individual audits, how to establish and analyze realistic yet complex risk scenarios where the controls could be compromised by a threat or vulnerability, how to evaluate whether the controls in place adequately protect against the analyzed scenario and determine the degree of acceptability and proposed treatment for the identified risk, how to respond through the development of compelling findings that articulate the risk in a manner that creates a call for action, and how to monitor and report status until risk acceptance is achieved and thereafter to quickly alert for variation.

JOHN WALLHOFF
IT-REVISOR OCH YRKESVERKSAM INOM INFORMATIONS-OCH CYBERSÄKERHET

WORKSHOP: SKAPA ALGORITMER BASERAT PÅ EN AI-STRUKTUR – EN WORKSHOP OM HUR MAN KOMMER IGÅNG MED ATT ANVÄNDA AI INOM GRC OMRÅDET

Algoritmer används för datadrivet beslutsfattande, men att använda algoritmer inom GRC är fortfarande ett outforskat område. När det tillämpas kommer det att göra det möjligt för dig att använda data för att förstå beteende, brister i kontroller och se möjligheter inom din organisation på ett annat sätt än vad en detaljerad granskning av enskilda transaktioner medger.

Värdet av att använda algoritmer blir som tydligast när man minskar antalet detaljerade rapporter som måste granska genom att utveckla förmågan att arbeta digitalt, vilket hjälper dig att fatta beslut om när och vilka detaljerade transaktioner du verkligen behöver fokusera på tillsammans med annan underliggande information. Gränssnittet mellan resultatet från dina algoritmer och den manuella tolkningen av de algoritmer du har skapat är också lika viktigt att beakta.

Detta är en kombinerad workshop utan dator/med dator, där du behöver en bärbar dator med Excel som analysverktyg för att få ut det mesta av workshopen. Vi kommer att beröra användningsfall för utvärdering av åtkomst, bedrägeri, Incidenter och Försäljning där algoritmer skapas från inledande planering och brainstorming till skapande och genomförande.

Nybörjarnivå
• Hur man planerar och utformar algoritmer
• Hur man definierar datakrav och skaffar data.
• Hur man skapar egna algoritmer med Excel som verktyg.
• Hur du kan få algoritmernas användbarhet när du granskar resultatet.

John är IT-revisor och yrkesverksam inom informations- och cybersäkerhet med dataanalys som särskilt intresseområde. I mer än 25 år har han hjälpt organisationer inom den privata och offentliga sektorn, där han har utvecklat flera tillämpningar för att få ut det mesta av de data som lagras och bearbetas inom en organisation.
