Description

The internal audit risk assessment is perhaps the most important process dictating internal audit’s success — it determines what will be on the audit plan and it can be leveraged to inform the business of new and emerging risks. Yet, this process is seldom changed and thought leadership is rare.

Please join experts from AuditBoard and EY for a panel discussion where we will discuss best practices and share perspectives on the internal audit risk assessment. Talking points will include:

  • How frequently risk assessments should be completed.
  • Ways to leverage work completed by second line functions.
  • What Risk Assessment Reporting should be shared, and with whom.
  • How to mature the risk assessment with data analytics.
