Impero x Beyond The Lines: From Excel to Internal Control Confidence

We’re bringing From Excel to Control Confidence to London, and you’re invited to the table!

Most control frameworks still live in spreadsheets. That works until something changes: an owner leaves, evidence goes missing or the versions start to pile up. Provision 29 now asks boards to declare that their material controls are effective, so “we think it’s covered” isn’t enough anymore.

Join us in central London for an invite-only lunch roundtable with a small group of Heads of Controls, Risk, Finance, Audit and Compliance. Tim Buckley (ACA, CIA), founder of Beyond the Lines™ and Integral Assurance, will host the afternoon. We’ll look at what it really takes to go from Excel to controls you can trust, own and evidence.

This is a a practitioner-led keynote, NCC Group’s real journey from spreadsheets to structured controls and an honest conversation with peers who face the same challenge. Expect good food and great connections, and lots of inspiration on how to simplify risk & internal controls.

👥 This event is free to attend, but spots are limited.
