The holidays are upon us and it is time to take a well deserved break. Please note that we will not be blogging during the holiday season from Thursday December 24, 2015 at noon to Friday January 1, 2016, inclusive. Our bloggers will resume sharing their expertise and interesting developments in the world of risk management and internal controls on Monday January 4, 2016.
We also would like to take the time to thank our regular and occasional bloggers for their valuable contributions to the Inside Internal Controls blog. We could not have done it without them. In addition, thanks to our loyal readership for making this blog a success.
We are signing off for 2015 with a list of the top 10 most read posts published in 2015. Although Canada’s anti-spam legislation dominated the list, issues related to charities and not-for-profits were also very topical.
