Webinar 2: Embedding ISQM into Daily Practice – From Control Testing to Organization-Wide Quality

Embedding ISQM into daily operations is key to achieving sustainable audit quality.
Many firms still rely on periodic control testing alone — leading to recurring issues and missed opportunities for improvement. In this session, we will discuss how to operationalize ISQM fully: involving the whole organization, activating key users, and using data from multiple sources to support continuous quality control.

In this session, we will explore:

  • Why is involving the entire organization — not just second line — critical for sustainable quality?
  • How can firms move beyond control testing to embed ISQM into daily operations?
