Why Internal Control Programs Are Underdelivering and How to Fix It

A bonus handout to my presentation on 7 Principles to Modernize Your Internal Controls

SOX turned twenty-two recently. When it was signed into law, Enron and WorldCom had just obliterated public trust in corporate financial reporting. But most internal control programs are still running the 2002 playbook in a 2025 world. Cloud-native operations, AI-driven decision-making, real-time global transactions, hybrid workforces: the business environment has fundamentally shifted while the programs designed to oversee it have barely evolved.
