MetricStream to Present a Webinar on Risk Based Auditing

MetricStream Inc., the market leader in Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions, announced today that William J. (Bill) Mulcahy - Chairman of the Institute of Internal Auditors 2010 International Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, will join Gaurav Kapoor, CFO and General Manager, MetricStream, in a webinar on Risk Based Auditing.
About the webinar

The ambiguous economic milieu of today places higher demands on auditors. In their changed roles, auditors are the gatekeepers to certify complete safety and risk control. Companies need an assurance from their auditors to confirm the effective management of relevant risks and smooth functioning of appropriate controls to protect the company from hazardous circumstances.

Auditors need to adopt a streamlined risk-based audit process to handle greater risk areas. Reliable assessment of controls across all parameters of the enterprise ensures higher compliance with statutory, legal and regulatory needs. As a trend to cope with the new challenges, majority of large global enterprises are looking at restructuring their audit management system by moving to an integrated risk-based approach to auditing.

A robust and integrated audit management solution can support organizations in their transition to risk-based auditing and drive efficiency, collaboration, visibility and cost-reduction into the operations of the enterprise.

The webinar will deliver a 360 degree perspective on adopting risk-based auditing. The speakers will provide insights on:

* Developing a risk-based audit plan for the organization focusing on key risks
* Creating a risk-centric environment for managing new threats and challenges
* Monitoring Internal Audit and controls to ensure consistency
* Improving business performance through risk-based internal audit framework
