December 2020 topics:
Next Generation Internal Auditing – Are You Ready?
Field of Study: Auditing
Internal audit departments play a critical role within an organization. Internal auditors are responsible for assessing and monitoring the risks and controls of the enterprise, and ensuring it is in compliance with laws and regulations, as well as internal policies and procedures. A next generation internal audit is on the horizon, promoting innovation and transformation. Internal auditing is certainly starting to move in the right direction of transformation and innovation. David Lehmann, managing director at Protiviti, provides an in-depth discussion of the Next Generation of Internal Auditing.
The Evolution of the Profession – The CPA Journal’s 90th Anniversary
Field of Study: Accounting
Our team had the privilege to record a Town Hall meeting for the New York State Society of CPAs as a tribute to The CPA Journal’s 90th anniversary of publication. The panel consisted of CPAs in the public accounting arena as well as in private practice, who came together to discuss the evolution of the profession. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is one of the hot topics touching every organization and more and more businesses are starting to focus on it. With the recent social unrest in the country, many firms have issued public statements on DEI, but these statements may not be enough. The panelists discuss ways to alleviate the challenges that minorities face in the workplace and more.
Personal Branding – Perceptions & Impressions of You
Field of Study: Communications & Marketing
Branding is often associated with the way we identify companies, as brands make a lasting impression on consumers. Personal branding is no different; it’s the way we present ourselves and the impact our impression has on others. A personal brand exists; it’s not something individuals have to create but it has to be managed, maintained and adapted to their role as they advance in their career. When it comes to personal branding, there is a lot of disconnect between what people think it is and what it actually is. Alyssa Gelbard, founder and president of Point Road Group, discusses what personal branding means and key aspects needed to build your personal brand and how to stand out.
Ethics in Brand Licensing & the Impact of Technology
Field of Study: Regulatory Ethics
Brand licensing is often viewed as a balance of risk and reward, a marriage that has a finite life and can end with an amicable or a nasty divorce. However, those relationships create legal as well as ethical challenges. Our crew was able to record a panel discussion addressing ethics in brand licensing. The panelists, Maura Regan, president, Licensing International, Marshall Mizrahi, vice president, Handcraft manufacturing Corp., Elisheva Jasie, head of partnership & licensing, Vicente & Partners LLP, and Elizabeth Henris, lawyer and managing manager, Henried PLLC, addressed how technological changes have affected the licensing industry, what kind of changes they have witnessed in the past decade and what they anticipate seeing in the near future.
