The Evolving Role of Internal Audit

This 90-minute webinar examines the changing role of internal audit and how an organization can start to develop its internal resources to meet the new challenges that it faces in the current economic and regulatory environment.

Why Should You Attend:

Changing stakeholder expectations and a new view of risk management are prompting an important shift in the role of internal audit in many organizations. More than ever, internal audit is considered integral to a company’s control environment and is constantly challenged to provide value-added and relevant analyses of an organization’s internal control structure, performance and productivity.

This session will discuss the major focus areas for internal auditing in the coming years, such as corporate governance, enterprise risk management, strategic reviews, ethics audits, and passage to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We will discuss how you can re-examine your views of internal audit from a pure control function to one that actively participates in the development of an organization. By attending this webinar, you will learn how to develop your internal resources to meet the new challenges that your organization faces in the current economic and regulatory environment.
