Security Risk Management

Topic Breakdown

On April 5^th at 11am CST, we will be hosting the next webinar of the BFC-W series on Security Risk Management.

Businesses routinely fail to identify risks or implement the right security measures. Where does this failure or breakdown occur, and how can organizations avoid making these mistakes? Security is typically ranked as a top concern, but the risk management process typically breaks down because no-one analyzes the security gaps and develops a plan of action to cover these gaps.This session will help define a process to identify gaps in these three areas:

Fraud Risk Management
Workflow Automation, KwikTag
Cybersecurity Risk Management

This webinar will be broken into three parts with a different speaker for each. The topics will be:

Fraud Risk Management

We have all heard about people who have embezzled thousands or even millions of dollars, or financial statements that are materially misstated because of fraudulent financial reporting. Studies have shown that financial statement frauds can cost up to $1.2 billion annually. How does this happen and what can you do to prevent this from happening in your organization? In this session we will discuss common areas of opportunity for fraudulent financial reporting, mitigating risk factors, and detection and prevention methods that are key to establish. Fraud risk management is critical for any organization – to limit your risk and develop key safeguards to protect your business.

Workflow Automation, KwikTag

Learn the costs and risks associated with paper and manual processes across your organization. Hear real-world use cases of how AP automation, expense management and complete audit controls can prevent these risks while providing complete visibility into your critical documents and their processes.

Cybersecurity Risk Management

Our world is more connected than it has ever been. But that connectivity brings a with it a whole new set of risks. Whether you are moving your ERP to the cloud or keeping it On Premises, your business will very likely require that you connect your ERP systems with vendors, customers and remote employees as well as other On Prem and Cloud based apps and devices. In this brave new world, how do you ensure that your data and networks are secure? In this session, we will identify some of the more common risks that can impact businesses as they seek to be more connected. Topics will include ransomware, phishing attacks, physical security, data security, and network security.
