Topic: The Role of Alternative Dispute Resolution in Business, Managing Conflict and Controlling Costs
Speaker: Tony Belak from Sullivan International Dispute Resolution Center

Core values that promote trust, diversity, personal and professional growth, mutual respect, and productive communications are absolute necessities in modern, innovative, and successful businesses and organizations. Unfortunately, even the most well intentioned corporate policies are undermined by unmanaged conflict within the organization. Unresolved conflict is a distraction from otherwise productive use of time, energy, and resources, as it diminishes internal and external relationships and eventually impacts the bottom line. Business is experiencing a major shift to ADR techniques for initial attempts at conflict resolution with clients, employees, other organizations, and almost any area where litigation is used. The value of ADR lies in its ability to address and resolve conflicts in a way that saves time, money, and, in some cases, relationships; something that litigation is not designed to do.

"It is the policy of this Commonwealth to encourage the peaceable resolution of disputes and the early, voluntary settlement of litigation through negotiation and mediation. To the extent it is consistent with other laws, the courts and state governmental agencies are authorized and encouraged to refer disputing parties to mediation before trial or hearing." -  KRS 454.011 (1998)

Topic: Quantitative Risk Assessment in Action
Speaker: Bruce Edwards from the University of Louisville

About the Topic...

“Enterprise risk assessment,” “risk management,” “risk analysis.” These are some of the interrelated terms currently at the buzzword level in many organizations. Instead of spending a session on the textbook definitions of these terms, you will learn: the pros and cons of qualitative vs. quantitative risk assessment and how quantitiative risk assessment was actually applied in one organization 13 years ago and is still being used with great success to this day!

In addition to the knowledge gained from this real life example, you will take away the mathematical framework used in the real life quantitative model and recommended current day tools for developing your own models using a quantitative approach. Finally, you will see how a proven quantitative approach is but one big step away from continuous risk assessment.

About Bruce...

Bruce has 17 years audit & security experience in the Life Insurance, Utilities, Education & Health Insurance industries. He designed the Agency Field Audit risk assessment model at Capital Holding Agency Group (aka Commonwealth Life, Providian, AEGON, currently Monumental Life). He  also trained office administrators throughout the eastern and southern U.S. for Capital Holding for three years prior to his audit work.

After Capital Holding, Bruce worked as Senior I.S. Auditor at Louisville Gas & Electric and the University of Louisville (UofL) before accepting a postion as an IT Security Consultant at Humana Inc, where he was Project Manager for the HIPAA Risk Assessment, Management and Evaluation effort among other duties before returning to UofL as Information Security Officer where he coordinates the University's HIPAA and other Information Security efforts.

Bruce has also been involved in various system roll-outs over the years, including Providian's Field Collection System and UofL's PeopleSoft Financials Implementation where he provided security consultant, system auditor, QA testing and other services.

Bruce holds a BS in Industrial Management from Georgia Tech, the CISA and CIA certifications, is a Fellow in the Life Management Institute (FLMI) and resides with his family in Louisville, KY.

Managing Director – policyIQ
Resources Global Professionals

Phone: 412.263.3330

About Rocco...

Mr. Tarasi became a Managing Director of Resources Global Professionals in July 2003 when Resources acquired his previous company, Snap River Technologies. Since 2000, Mr. Tarasi had been the founder and President of Snap River, a software development and consulting firm providing innovative solutions for policy, procedure, and internal control management. As a Managing Director with Resources, he maintains responsibility for managing the company's policyIQ® product line, maintaining its customer relationships, and coordinating related consulting engagements.

Mr. Tarasi spent the majority of his career at Arthur Andersen LLP in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was previously a Manager in the Assurance practice responsible for both internal and external audit engagements. He managed companies in a broad range of industries and was responsible for the largest international clients in the office. He also managed a number of initial and secondary public offerings and M&A transactions.

Mr. Tarasi recognized the difficulty companies faced in managing all of their policy and procedure documentation, not just in Accounting and Finance but in other departments like Human Resources, Operations, and Information Technology. When he founded Snap River, there was no recognized methodology or process for managing this documentation, and no software application designed specifically for this purpose. He developed the Policy Management Process, which established a methodology for companies to follow in managing their documentation, and then authored the Effective Policy Management Best Practice, a practical list of best practice steps that was published in the Journal of Accountancy in 2002.

The Effective Policy Management Best Practice provided the basis for designing policyIQ®, a web-based software application for policy and procedure management that follows and automates many of the best practice steps. policyIQ® was released in 2002 and is now used by public companies for compliance with sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and by both public and private companies as an authoring tool and central repository for all of their policies and procedures.

Mr. Tarasi was also previously the Chief Financial Officer of a start-up technology company and an Investment Banker. He is a Certified Public Accountant and has been a speaker at dozens of seminars and training sessions on subjects including entrepreneurship, policy and procedure management, internal controls, risk assessments, and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. He graduated Cum Laude from the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Tarasi can be contacted at rocco.tarasi@resources-us.com for any questions about internal controls, policies and procedures, or to schedule a one-hour online demo of policyIQ®.

COSO Frameworks for Internal Control and Enterprise Risk Management

Presentation Summary/Outline

The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) is a voluntary private sector organization formed in 1985 dedicated to improving the quality of financial reporting through business ethics, effective internal control, and corporate governance. In 1992, COSO issued a report, “Internal Control – Integrated Framework.” This report discusses control system structures and components.

Although the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Framework for Internal Control has been around for a number of years, it is even more relevant today. The Sarbanes Oxley Act puts much more emphasis around the importance of understanding the control environment in organizations and the link between a strong control environment and sound financial performance and reporting.

In addition to the Internal Control Framework, COSO issued a report on Enterprise Risk Management in 2003. The COSO Chairman wrote, “Although a lot of people are talking about risk, there is no commonly accepted definition of risk management and no comprehensive framework outlining how the process should work… …our goal is that the ERM Framework will offer boards and management a commonly accepted model for discussing and evaluating an organization’s risk management efforts.”

This presentation will provide you with an overview of both frameworks, how they fit together and how these frameworks can be utilized by your organization to help strengthen your control environment and risk management. Specifically, the presentation will cover the following:

Overview of the COSO Internal Control and Enterprise Risk Management Frameworks

· Definition of Internal Control
· Internal Control Roles and Responsibilities
· COSO Internal Control Components
· Benefits of Enterprise Risk Management
· Enterprise Risk Management Components
· How COSO IC and Enterprise Risk Management frameworks Fit Together
· How COSO IC and Enterprise Risk Management Frameworks Apply to Internal Audit and Your Organization

Fraud Discussion

· Current Conditions
· Fraud Definitions
· Frequency and Cost of Internal Fraud
· Characteristics of Fraud Culprits
· Elements of Fraud
· Examples of Fraud
· Fraud Red Flags
· Conditions Conducive to Fraud
· New Fraud Guidance
· Fraud Detection Best Practices

Seminar:  IS AUDITING FOR NON-TECHNICAL AUDITORS [Click here for a pdf format flyer]
Sponsored by Louisville Chapter - Institute of Internal Auditors

Location: Seelbach Hilton
Cost: $270 IIA & ISACA Members, $280 Others

Does Information Systems Auditing mystify or befuddle you? Are you being asked to take on the role of IS auditor with only limited guidance and support? If so, this comprehensive Two-day course is exactly what you need.

We demystify Information Systems auditing, making it simple to understand and conduct. How? Well, the key is to first recognize that technology is a business tool to be managed and, as such, can be assessed from a management perspective. From that perspective, we bring together proven audit programs and explanations of the following IS auditing procedures:

· Application Controls Reviews

· Systems Development Audits

· Logical, Physical and Environmental Security Evaluations

· Business Continuity (Disaster/Recovery) Reviews

· General Controls Reviews in a Mainframe Environment

· General Controls Reviews in a LAN and Client/Server Environment

· Debit Card and Procurement Card Audits

· Software License/Copyright

· Manual and Automated Testing Techniques

We also fortify you with the following:

· A review of popular audit software packages, including ACL generalized audit software, various automated flowcharting software, key security audit software and audit planning and risk assessment software products.

· Discussions on how to audit these new accounting systems being installed and driving us crazy!

· Internet-based (i.e. FREE!) audit tools.

In addition to looking at each of these areas and examining the provided audit programs, this session also introduces the non-technical auditor to the following IS audit issues:

· The information systems environment.

· What REALLY are the controls in an IS environment.

· IS audit testing techniques that non-technical auditors can apply NOW.

Bring a big suitcase, because we provide LOTS of handouts. Also provided is Tom Salzman's IS Audit and Control SourceBook providing a list of: 350 audit software packages,

380 IS audit books, 70 IS audit and control magazines and periodicals, 30 professional associations, and 15 professional certifications.
