Internal Audit as a Strategic Advisor
Beyond Assurance: Shaping Internal Audit as a Strategic Advisor | Are you ready to transform your internal audit teams?
The role of internal auditors is evolving. Building on Richard Chambers’ established concept of the “Trusted Advisor”, the next step forward is the transformation into a “Strategic Advisor”—a key pillar of the IIA Global Vision 2035. In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, internal audit must go beyond assurance and compliance to provide real strategic insights that drive business success.
Through expert-led discussions and real-world case studies, participants will gain actionable insights into shaping their internal audit functions into value-driven strategic advisors.
These presentations provide deep insights into how leading internal audit functions are successfully transitioning to the Strategic Advisor role, covering key aspects such as:
++ Bridging the Gap Between Audit and Strategy: How internal audit can provide proactive, strategic insights beyond compliance and assurance.
++ Lessons from Vision 2035: Understanding the key findings of the IIA Global “Vision 2035” research study and their implications for the internal audit profession.
++ Leadership Perspectives: Insights from executives and renowned audit professionals on developing and positioning internal audit as a strategic partner.
++ Building the Future Internal Audit Team: Strategies to upskill and equip audit teams with the competencies required for the Strategic Advisor
