Reimagining GRC: The strategic role of control self-assessment in modern governance

Learn to automate control self-assessments and integrate multidisciplinary risks into a single, audit-ready governance model for Provision 29.

Reimagining GRC: The strategic role of control self-assessment in modern governance

Description

The 2024 UK Corporate Governance Code update, specifically Provision 29, has fundamentally elevated the requirements for board-level oversight. Starting in January 2026, organisations must move beyond informal compliance to provide an explicit annual declaration on the effectiveness of all material controls, encompassing financial, operational, and reporting risks. However, the multidisciplinary nature of this journey often creates significant operational friction as teams struggle with manual, spreadsheet-heavy data collection that leads to audit fatigue and inconsistent reporting.
This 60-minute thought leadership webinar provides a blueprint for navigating this transition by evolving your control self-assessment (CSA) methodology. We will explore how to bridge the gap between departmental silos to create a unified controls management framework that satisfies both internal stakeholders and external auditors. Our panel will share practical insights on defining materiality, automating attestation workflows, and providing the real-time visibility necessary for mandatory board disclosures. Attendees will learn how to replace fragmented manual processes with a sustainable governance model that ensures readiness for the 2026 mandate.
