Effective control self-assessment<\/strong> facilitation turns operational knowledge into a disciplined view of objectives, risks, controls, evidence and improvement actions.

This article is for internal auditors, risk and compliance professionals, control owners and managers who lead workshops, interviews or questionnaire-based assessments.
