PRE WORKSHOP TRAINING- October 20

, 2010

Better Decisions, Faster Solutions, Fewer Mistakes

October 20, 2010, 9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Presented by:

Randy Park, B.Sc, M. Eng.

Your workday - indeed your life - is about making decisions. This training will help you make better decisions for

desired results - by creating an improved foundation for those decisions built from a combination of practical tools and

in-depth insight into how people think and analyze information.

Even with formal experience and certified training, we still use short cuts when making decisions, including matching

the situation to past experience, jumping to conclusions, extrapolation, etc. In this MIAA pre-Fall Workshop training we

will learn how these thinking approaches can be traps in an entertaining, enlightening manner.

Randy's use of optical illusions, brain teasers, and interactive exercises will illustrate the hidden challenges of making

good decisions given the way the human brain works. We will then practice with tools you can use to improve the basis

on which you make decisions, communicate and collaborate with peers, board members, councillors and stakeholders

to:

- develop and scope work plans and audit programs,

- achieve performance measurement,

- deal with difficult and or unsupportive Boards or Council members,

- develop recommendations that will be followed up on,

- represent an audit function as a value added part of good governance, and

- have auditees/clients improve organizational efficiency by embracing audit.

Randy will also include effective communication strategies to work collaboratively with, although independently from,

management to achieve desired results.

Beating the Fraudster at Their Own Game: Prevention, Detection and Investigation

October 21, 2010, 1:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.

Presented by:

Edward Nagel, CA·IFA, CBV

of Nagel & Associates

How and how quickly an organization responds to fraud, will drive the extent of damage that could result from a

financial crime event—be it financial, reputational or otherwise. Knowing what is fraud and the indicators or ―red flags‖

to look out for is critical in managing this assumed risk within any organization. Citing real-life cases, this session will

provide first-hand experience from various investigations conducted, the key challenges faced and what steps were

taken to make the investigations successful. This session will also address the basic principles of investigations,

current trends in risk management and the critical role that internal audit can have in an investigation.

FALL WORKSHOP – DAY 2 (October 22

, 2010)

‘Audits-to-go’

October 22, 2010, 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.

1. City of Toronto Charter of Expectations for Public Servants

- Conflict of Interest– Ruvani Shaubel,

Director,

City of Toronto Internal Audit –

the presentation will provide an overview of the City’s Charter of

Expectations for all members of Toronto Public Service and specifically focus on the employees’ responsibility to

―Act with integrity‖.

One of the policies that fall within this responsibility is adherence to the City’s Conflict of

Interest policy. The presentation will provide a summary of this policy and the role undertaken by the City’s

Internal Audit Division to ensure the policy is better understood and implemented by employees.

2. Effectively Managing the Recruitment of Non-Union Employees in the Toronto Public Service – Akrivi

Nicolaou, City of Toronto Auditor General’s Office -

The objectives of this audit were to assess the

effectiveness of internal controls over the recruitment process for non-union employees and to review compliance

with relevant legislative requirements.

For the most part we found that existing policies and procedures are adequate and in compliance with legislative

requirements. However, we found significant weaknesses with the controls to ensure compliance with a number of

established policies.

In circumstances where policies and procedures are not being followed, the risk exists that

the City’s recruitment objectives may not be achieved.

By addressing the audit recommendations, the Human Resources Division will ensure that the recruitment for non-

union employees is transparent, fair, timely and in compliance with legislation, policies and procedures.

The Auditor General’s complete report is available for review prior to the session at:
