Surgent's Enterprise Risk Management Concepts and Strategy for Small and Medium-Sized Companies
Available Until Apr. 30, 2026
Online
4.00 Credits
Member Price: $79
The past few years have taught us that major risks can come at us from any direction and with barely a warning. All organizations operate in a risk environment, but all too often, they either don't realize it or they don't develop a strategy to deal with the risks. In this session, we will explore how risks work in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and how they can develop a strategy to identify, evaluate, and mitigate those risks. This program will not teach how to eliminate risks, but how to strategize how to reduce their total effect. We will liberally use case studies of both for-profit and not-for-profit companies to bridge the gap between concept and actual implementation. In each area we will explore what our experiences of the pandemic have taught us about this part of risk management.Delivery Method: DownloadCPE Credit: Management servicesProgram Level: IntermediateThis course is being offered by a 3rd party vendor and will not be accessible on your My CPE page.

Surgent's Enterprise Risk Management for Small and Medium-Sized Companies
Available Until Apr. 30, 2026
Online
8.00 Credits
Member Price: $159
The past few years have taught us that major risks can come at us from any direction and with barely a warning. All organizations operate in a risk environment; however, generally only the large for-profit organizations pay a lot of attention to risk management. Or, other organizations equate risk management to insurance and completely miss some of the most important things that create and affect risk. Many years ago, led by the financial industry, large companies introduced systematic analysis in evaluating risk; however, those skills have generally failed to transfer to small and medium-sized organizations. This program seeks to do exactly that. We will explore the needs and concepts of risk management, showing how they equally affect both large and small companies as well as for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. With liberal use of case studies, we will see how companies can face the issues of risk management and systematically develop a structure to identify, evaluate, and mitigate those risks. It is important to note that the program is not for the experienced risk manager of the large organization, but for the finance professional dealing with a small to medium-sized company who desires to establish or refine an integrated enterprise risk management strategy.Delivery Method: DownloadCPE Credit: Management servicesProgram Level: IntermediateThis course is being offered by a 3rd party vendor and will not be accessible on your My CPE page.

Surgent's Essentials Of Audit Sampling
Available Until Apr. 30, 2026
Online
2.00 Credits
Member Price: $89
When performing an audit, an auditor bases his/her opinion about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement on a variety of tests on the underlying account balances and classes of transactions. Some balances, such as debt, may be tested 100% but more often, such as is the case with accounts receivable, the auditor will use sampling applications to obtain sufficient evidence to support the opinion and will not test 100% of the population. The auditor will also use sampling when testing control activities to conclude on the effectiveness of the controls. Compliance and accuracy in the accumulation of information is also tested by sampling. This module explores the different sampling applications used in a financial statement/compliance audit.
