IIA – Chattanooga presents Toby Groves Topic Summary Beyond the Checklist: Advanced Critical Thinking Science for Auditors Join us for a fascinating, interactive and immersive day at the foray where forensic psychology meets forensic accounting - where we will look at the human side of the scientific tools and methods used in decision making. Expect the unexpected in this innovative event where you will experience the power of cutting edge learning techniques and tap into brain networks that allow you to recognize defining issues, solve complex problems, make better decisions, and experience more confidence and fulfillment in your work. All your neurons will be firing as you feel new power to achieve the highest levels of thinking! We will delve into the science behind critical thinking in audit planning, preparation, performance, and communication and explore the most effective ways to interpret, translate and communicate results. You will participate in interactive exercises that exploit errors of judgment and will be surprised at the extent to which these invisible forces impact audit results. We will examine tools that improve thinking and judgment processes that can be immediately employed into work processes. Objectives: This presentation uses behavioral science to integrate behavioral science with accounting and auditing concepts. Participants will be able to identify and understand concepts of critical thinking and apply them to professional judgment in auditing, accounting and governance situations. Who will benefit: Auditors, controllers, CPA’s, CAE’s, CIO’s, CEO’s, compliance and risk managers, ethics officers, and anyone wanting to improve their skills by understanding the behavioral science associated with organizational risk and culture. © 2017 Toby Groves Registration fee include continential breakfast, buffet lunch at Broad Street Grille, and morning/afternoon breaks.
