Leaders' Summit 2023

Gain the insights you need to shape our profession

2023 a state of crisis will continue to be the new normality. Climate-related natural disasters, looming recession, an accelerating cost of living catastrophe in Europe, food shortages, employee welfare and skills deficits, and a rapidly industrialising cyberattack landscape are overlaid by intensifying geopolitical tensions and the very real threat of financial liquidity and solvency risks for businesses.

The internal audit profession is under pressure to move with it, by providing organisations, audit committees, senior management with the assurance needed to manage this permacrisis scenario. As an internal audit leader, you are responsible for driving this process, and delivering the inspiration and innovation necessary to succeed. We realise that this is a major challenge, which is why we are here to support you every step of the way.

Join us for our dedicated Leaders’ Summit on 9 March to learn more about the key topics shaping internal audit today, including:

Navigating the impact of sanction risk
What do digital and cyber hold for the future
The human element – how is that impacting the organisation and internal audit
The economic landscape i.e., supply change, raw material shortages, inflation, cost of living, financial stability
