The Ultimate Survival Guide for Audit Management

Whether you manage an audit team of five, thirty, or more, the greatest challenge any modern audit leader faces is how to stay relevant and add value to the organisation. Beyond staying compliant with regulations and cutting costs wherever possible, audit leaders must also keep informed of industry hot topics and the latest guidance and best practices while staying ahead of new and existing threats and challenges.

• A carefully curated selection of resources intended for audit leaders to leverage, share, and discuss with their teams
• Practical tools and checklists to help auditors drive efficiency throughout their audit projects and beyond
