Learning Objective

  • To identify risks for cyber fraud when employees are working from home.
  • To analyze operational risks when employees are working from home.
  • To analyze the potential challenges and pitfalls that arise when employees work from home.

Course Overview

With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing a rapid shift to remote work, many organizations had to adapt to the new reality of virtual operations. 

Remote work has proven to be advantageous for both employers and employees, offering flexibility and work-life balance. However, it has also brought forth unique challenges, particularly in the realm of payroll and billing. Some employees have taken advantage of this by working 2 or more jobs at the same time. There are additional payroll and billing risks when employees are working from home. Having employees work from home creates additional operational and cyber security risks for the employees and their organizations. 

This CPE Auditing Course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity and data breach risks, focusing on the needs of accounting, auditing, consulting, and tax professionals who may not have a background in information technology (IT). While you may be familiar with common cybercrimes like ransomware, spyware, and phishing, this course will offer a non-technical, plain-language approach to help you grasp operational cybersecurity risks and internal controls. Our focus is on equipping you with the knowledge you need, rather than delving into the intricacies of computer programming or coding.

Key topics covered in this course:

  • Fraud triangle, and Fraud research
  • Cyber fraud: Cyber fraud is growing
  • Data breach laws by State
  • Cybersecurity Risks, Cybersecurity Risk Factors, Cybersecurity Risk Management and Data Analytics
  • Cybersecurity Frameworks, Cybersecurity internal controls, and key internal controls for remote employees
  • Best VPN, Encryption Software, and IT Monitoring Software

Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of remote work risks and solutions. Join us for this engaging course, designed for accounting, auditing, consulting, and tax professionals seeking to excel in the dynamic world of remote work and cybersecurity.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the course. The instructor was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well. I prefer in person classes, but this class was captivating and definitely comfortable doing it from the comfort of my home.
