The rapidly changing risk landscape necessitates that internal audit teams create or source new capabilities in crucial areas - Cybersecurity, AI, Data Protection and Sustainability. Along with the implementation of the new Global Internal Audit Standards for quality assessments, many organizations are struggling to figure out where to start. These new standards, together with domestic compliance requirements, are changing the picture for risk functions. This implies that Internal Audit functions will need to do a self-assessment to determine their preparation for the changes. Failure to do so may result in non-compliance, lack of certainty, and disruptions while you attempt to catch up.
Corporate World Intelligence (CWI) is thrilled to bring forth our 5th Edition of the “Global Digital Audit Transformation & Fraud Analytics Forum” which brings together industry leaders, experts, and practitioners to explore the latest trends, share insights, and discuss strategies to enhance Internal Audit practices in organizations.
