Keynote Address: Internal Audit as a Risk Partner and Change Agent
Maria Olide, CPA, Chief Audit Executive, ADP, Inc.
Date: Wednesday, 1 May 2013
Time: 9am - 10am
Ms. Olide will discuss how the ADP Internal Audit team strives to actively drive the changes necessary to appropriately manage strategic, operational, compliance and reporting risks. In order to drive that change, the team is expected to have a deep understanding of ADP's strategy, business operations and objectives, be an expert in the relevant risk area, and be able to influence the organization to act. This new paradigm requires an ongoing engagement and monitoring approach to the key risks rather than a traditional "touch-and-go" audit approach. Ms. Olide will also share how the skill sets of the team are being developed in order for team members to be risk partners in achieving the strategies, goals, and objectives of the business.
