MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Registration remains open for Wolters Kluwer Audit, Risk & Compliance’s 16th annual TeamMate User Forum, held Sept. 27-30 at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to the usual product-focused sessions, the User Forum is expanding its offerings to include analysis of industry hot topics and professional development opportunities.

On Monday, Sept. 28, participants can attend an Audit Leadership Track, which is a series of sessions primarily focusing on the challenges, industry trends and best practices that impact audit directors and others in leadership positions. Richard Anderson, clinical professor at DePaul University’s Center for Strategy, Execution and Valuation and retired PwC partner, will facilitate the Audit Leadership Track sessions, and Bonnie Ulmer, vice president of the IIA Research Foundation, will co-present.

More specifically, topics covered during the Audit Leadership Track include:
