Description

The global pandemic has accelerated the evolution of the profession of internal auditing. The necessity for many to work from home in 2020 caused Internal Audit leaders to reimagine how internal audit work could effectively and efficiently be accomplished. The most successful internal audit functions in a post-pandemic environment will leverage the lessons that have been learned to improve their internal audit methodologies. Increased remote auditing, strategic use of audit technologies, and rethinking how to recruit, retain and deploy people will be an ongoing opportunity for internal auditors to bring additional value to their organizations.
