| Central Time (US & Canada) (GMT -5:00)

About This Webinar

Regulators are scrutinizing. Auditors are probing. And your clock is ticking.

How will your disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) hold up?

On Wednesday, August 6, 2025 (11:45 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET), join us for Effective Disclosure Controls and ICFR, a free CLE*-eligible webinar presented by Intelligize. Legal and compliance experts will unpack the latest expectations—and expose the most common control failures companies can’t afford to make.

In this session, you will:
• Gain a fundamental understanding of disclosure controls and procedures and the role of the board and disclosure committee
• Learn how to establish effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting
• Understand disclosure requirements and auditor attestation requirements
• Learn about management’s assessment of ICFR

Whether you’re reviewing your current frameworks or building them from the ground up, this session will give you the confidence to ensure your controls are both effective and audit-ready.
