On-demand Webinar 2:

Embedding ISQM Into Daily Practice

Many audit firms still approach ISQM through periodic control testing alone — resulting in blind spots, inefficiencies, and recurring quality issues.

But sustainable audit quality requires more than ticking boxes. It demands a shift in culture, tooling, and accountability.

Watch the n-demand webinar to learn how to embed ISQM into your daily operations, where quality is owned, measured, and continuously improved — across the entire organization.

What you'll learn:

🔹How to establish proper control frameworks  

🔹 A practical control assurance model that supports transparency and traceability  

🔹 Why sustainable quality depends on first-line ownership — not just the second line  

🔹 How to translate action plans into trackable steps  

🔹 How to actually measure quality and bring awareness across all levels
