Wednesday, August 26, 2026

11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Cloud migration is no longer an IT decision, it is a risk, control, and governance transformation. This session equips internal audit and risk professionals with the knowledge to provide effective assurance, advisory insight, and regulatory alignment before, during, and after cloud adoption in a regulated banking environment.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

  1. Understand when cloud migration adds value and when on prem or hybrid models may be more appropriate.
  2. Evaluate how cloud adoption changes risk, governance, and accountability, including the implications of the shared responsibility model.
  3. Identify and prioritize key cloud related risks and controls relevant to FCA regulated institutions.
  4. Apply practical audit approaches to provide assurance and advisory insight across the cloud migration lifecycle, aligned with regulatory expectations.
