Internal Controls Masterclass (2-3 September 2026) St. Giles Boulevard Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
OVERVIEW
In recent years, the issue of “internal control” has become more significant within organisation. How to strengthen your internal control system? A strong internal control system is one of the best mitigation strategies for managing internal operational and financial risks. Effective internal controls can assist an organisation to protect itself against misuse, loss of its assets and also manage its assets in a more effective and efficient manner. Additionally, putting the right effective internal controls in place can help alert management to potential problems, reducing the probability of unnecessary financial loss due to operational or regulatory non-compliance issues.
This workshop aims to convince you of the importance of effective internal controls for financial, operational and compliance reasons with a practical focus to enable you to apply effective control practices at your workplace.
Attending this 2-day instructor-led training programme will
equip you with relevant risks and controls knowledge to enable you to identify control weaknesses, as well as implement effective control activities for the common core business processes
(namely
procurement, payment, revenue, receipts, inventory and fixed asset management)
found in a typical organisation. You will also learn to
develop your own Internal Controls Checklists to evaluate internal control practices
currently implemented in your organisation.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Be Among the First in Malaysia to Make AI Your Real Workplace Assistant You’re Already Using AI. But Are You Still Doing Most of the Work? You ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot or Claude a question. You get an answer. You edit it. You check it. Then tomorrow, you start all over again. Meanwhile, the pressure keeps building more risks to assess, more audit work to document, more reports to produce, more data to analyse and less time to get everything done. If that sounds familiar, simply learning more prompts is NOT the answer. The next leap is learning how to turn GenAI into a REUSABLE PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOW and ultimately, your own AI assistant. FROM “ASK AI” TO “MAKE AI WORK FOR ME” AI-Augmented Risk Management and Internal Audit is an advanced, highly interactive two-day programme designed for professionals who are ready to move beyond basic prompting. Participants will learn how to challenge AI instead of blindly trusting it examining assumptions, exploring alternative scenarios, recognising cognitive bias and applying selected concepts from the DECODA Decision Clarity Architecture (DCA) before accepting AI recommendations. Participants will discover how to transform repetitive work into reusable AI workflows and put GenAI to work across risk identification, risk assessment, risk registers, control recommendations, audit planning, workpapers, executive reporting and fraud risk management. TWO DAYS. ONE BIG SHIFT. By the end of the programme, the goal is no longer: “How do I prompt AI better?” It becomes: “How do I build AI into the way I work without giving up my professional judgement?” The programme culminates in an integrated workplace challenge where participants can design, build and refine their own AI assistant for a recurring professional task from risk and audit reporting to risk registers, audit planning, vendor risk, fraud review or management reporting. AI can generate an impressive-looking analysis in seconds. But would you sign off on it? That is where this programme becomes different. You will also tackle the uncomfortable questions professionals cannot afford to ignore: hallucinations, Validation, confidentiality, data protection, explainability, documentation and AI governance . This is not about replacing the risk manager or internal auditor. It is about creating an AI-augmented professional who can work faster, think critically and make better-informed decisions. And you won’t just watch the trainer do it. You will build it, test it and challenge it yourself. Move beyond prompting. Build reusable AI workflows. Create an AI assistant around the work you actually do. Learn how to harness AI Tools to work faster and smarter while keeping professional judgement firmly in your hands. Do not just chat with AI. Make AI work for you.
