Course Overview

Entity level control (ELCs) s are often difficult to identify but even more difficult to assess.  Soft controls are similar to entity-level controls. They have less concrete or visible measures that contribute to achieving organizational objectives. So controls can be regarded as measures influencing employees’ motivation, loyalty, integrity, inspiration, standards, and values. They do not lend themselves to normal validation processes.  Assessors must often utilize interviews, questionnaires, observations, or other unique methods.

The webinars on top-down risk assessment discussed ELCs and some methods for assessment. It will delve further into understanding approaches to assess the design and operating effectiveness of ELCs and soft controls.  

Challenges faced while evaluating Soft Controls will be discussed in this webinar. We will cover methods and alternatives to measuring and assessing ELCs and soft controls. You will get an idea about how to use the Maturity model and how it is effective in evaluating soft control.

Major topics covered in this online CPE webinar:

  • Hard vs. soft controls
  • Challenging of evaluating soft control 
  • Methods for assessing soft controls and determining the effectiveness
  • COSO
  • Maturity Model
  • Cause and effect analysis
  • Questionnaires and surveys
  • Linking soft controls to COSO principles and financial statement assertions
