Still Wearing the Same Guayabera? Modernizing Internal Controls thru Automation

Presented by:
Kyle O’Rourke, CIA, CRMA, CGAP – Consulting Partner, MGO
Corbitt Nixon, CPA – Senior Manager, MGO

As finance organizations face increasing pressure to strengthen governance while operating with constrained resources, modernizing internal controls through automation has become increasingly important. This session explores how automated workflows, modern ERP integrations, and continuous monitoring tools can help modernize traditional control environments — making them more efficient, consistent, and scalable.
 
Attendees will learn how continuous control monitoring can reduce manual effort, improve visibility into control performance, and help surface potential risks earlier in the process. Practical examples will illustrate how finance teams can increase consistency, support audit readiness, and enhance overall control effectiveness through the thoughtful use of automation.
