Webinar "Internal Controls: Your First Line of Defense"


Understanding internal controls is vital; it's a sure-fire way to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse within your organization.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) expects all non-Federal entities to have a documented system of controls that provides reasonable assurance that Federal awards are being managed in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Is your system of controls up to par?

In this 90-minute webinar, Capital Edge consultant Dan Durst will explain the basic principles of internal controls, the key requirements in 2 CFR 200, differences between preventative vs detective, proper segregation of duties, and common control activities related to high-risk areas in the organization. You will also have the opportunity to ask your own questions in the Q&A portion of this webinar.

Keep your organization in compliance with Federal statutes. Adequate internal controls provide the foundation for successful financial management. It's imperative that organizations periodically review their system of internal controls to ensure that it is adequately designed and operating effectively.
