Session #1: CRYPTOCURRENCY AND BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY RISK INSIGHTS
With the on-going emergence of blockchain and cryptocurrency offerings and the ever-increasing regulatory and compliance requirements, companies are seeing a heightened demand for an effective information technology risk management program. Companies are turning to internal audit risk and compliance functions asking for help on managing specific risks of blockchain and cryptocurrency offerings. This presentation will focus on 3 key points:
- Designing Internal Audit Services to identify risk themes associated with emerging technologies such as blockchain.
- Breaking down cryptocurrency 101 – what is it, who are the players, and what products are out there?
- Exploring risk considerations of blockchain and cyrpto currency for internal audit programs centered around the customer lifecycle, custody models, key generation, transaction signing, security protocols, anti-money laundering (AML), and analytics and monitoring.

Session #2: INEFFECTIVE CONTROL ZONE VOLUME 4
Whether you know it or not, you have already entered a world of bugs, vulnerabilities, and hackers. A world where a single mistake can lead to dire consequences and embarrassing headlines. A world that seems to answer the question, “what could go wrong?” We are returning yet again to this world to study the causes of their failures so that we can learn from their mistakes. The Ineffective Control Zone!
