Field of Study: Auditing

Discussion Leader: Don Minges, MBA The Knowledge Institute

Too often we work in an environment where one or more systems fail. We will discuss the two key causes why most business systems crash. What are the steps to take that will reduce system risk? Why do we unintentionally design systems that are doomed to fail? This session outlines multiple steps to reduce and hopefully eliminate system risks. Proper planning is essential.
