Course Description

In this session, the presenters will take a deep dive into identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing risks within a process. Participants will also take part in conducting an internal controls gap analysis specifically tailored for non-profit organizations.

Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss professional experiences and learn how colleagues and other professionals have tackled similar situations. With that knowledge of internal controls and risk assessment, the presenters will apply those details to scenarios that may occur at a non-profit institution.

Learning Objectives:


  • Evaluate and build on risk assessment and internal controls skills through a practical, hands-on approach

  • Recognize real-world process scenarios that might be found within an organization

  • Identify and assess risks specific to non-profit processes and determine methods for effectively prioritizing and evaluating them

  • Evaluate existing internal controls, identify deficiencies, and recommend appropriate new controls to strengthen risk management practices
