BSA 505 Week 6 Individual Assignment ontrol Self-Assessment
Your manager is concerned that IT/IS internal controls are not being owned by appropriate functional operators and managers. The concern is that employees do not feel accountable and are not working to find control weaknesses and improve the controls. Your manager has heard about control self-assessments (CSAs) and has asked you how CSA is implemented as well as the expected effect from a successful CSA program.
Prepare a 7- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation to answer the manager's questions. This presentation should be prepared for senior executive management, because your manager will likely ask you to present it to them.
Include either a script in each slide's speaker's notes or include audio with each slide that discusses the content as you would when presenting in person to senior executives.
