Compliance and Control Attestations for Everyone
This course explains why attestations matter and why you receive them, what evidence to consider before responding, and how to recognise when something isn’t quite right.
Course Overview
“Are things working as they should?”
Whether formal or informal, this is the central question on executives’ and leaders’ minds as they pursue organisational goals while managing risk and meeting their obligations. Frontline attestations play a critical role in answering this question.
This course explains why attestations matter and why you receive them, what evidence to consider before responding, and how to recognise when something isn’t quite right.
