KPMG Agile Resilient and Transformative Report

As organisations transform at ever-increasing speeds, new risks continue to emerge. Technological advances in artificial intelligence, data privacy and cyber security; the increasing use of automation tools; and growing compliance, regulatory and fraud risks have increased the boundaries of Internal Audit and expanded the roles of internal auditors.

This global report highlights the findings from a survey of 300 participants comprising of Chief Audit Executives, Audit Directors, Vice Presidents and Senior Managers representing internal audit teams from a wide range of industry sectors across 35 countries and territories.

Questions covered include the pressing issues facing technology audit teams today, such as auditor skillsets, scope and frequency of audits, emerging technology risks, the adoption of new technology to enhance audits, and the evolving role of the Internal Audit function as a strategic advisor at the Board level.

The responses suggest that, with technology risks increasingly featuring in boardroom conversations, Internal Audit has a great opportunity to step up and play a bigger part in addressing and mitigating these risks.
