The Minnesota ISACA chapter is proud to present our March 2008 Quarterly Roundtable and Social Gathering. We encourage all members to attend the roundtables, however if unable to attend the roundtables, please join us afterwards for the Social Gathering. The Social Gathering is a great way to informally meet with new and familiar faces in the IT Audit and Security community.

IT Audit Leaders Roundtable: Beyond Convergence, Integrating Risk Protocols throughout the Enterprise

Our IT Audit Leaders Roundtable will be discussion from two Information Risk executives on integrating Operational Risk Management (ORM) and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). They will discuss common risk analysis/ decision/ acceptance frameworks, and specifically how the information from those frameworks can be clearly and efficiently reported as key risk & performance indicators (KRI/KPI) to business executives and the Board of Directors. This discussion will provide a glimpse of how risk is/should be viewed at various levels of management throughout your organization, as well as the common touch points between them.

The presenters for this discussion are Randy Kaeder and Kreg Weigand. Randy has been directly involved in developing and managing enterprise-wide, multi-disciplined security programs of increasing size and complexity for over twenty years. He has worked in a Chief Security Officer (CSO) and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) capacity for a number of organizations. Kreg is a Partner at KPMG, with over 15 years of experience in public accounting, internal audit, data and information privacy, operations, and process improvement. He is the Midwest Region Leader for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and the Six Sigma / Lean practice development lead.

Technical Roundtable: Managing Program & Project Risks

Companies today are spending record amounts on major capital programs (e.g., enterprise IT programs, real estate development, construction, shared services and outsourcing arrangements). The success of these programs is often critical to the overall success of the company meeting its business goals and objectives. Surveys show that 50% of programs failed to deliver proper returns because they were not well managed. Our Technical Roundtable will cover managing the risks associated with programs and projects, providing oversight of how to better manage risks associated with the following areas:

§ Costs and schedule overruns

§ Schedule delays

§ Benefits not realized

§ Project cancellations

§ Loss of stakeholder confidence
