Fall Lunch and Learn (Virtual)

Presentation: Emerging Trends and Strategic Opportunities that Maximize Internal Audit's Value

Date: Friday, October 10, 2025

Time: 9:00am to 10:00am CT

Whether your internal audit function recently completed an External Quality Assessment (EQA) or you will do so in the future, this dynamic session will provide valuable insight from EQAs IIA Quality Services has performed to date under the new Global Internal Audit Standards (Standards). The new Standards not only focus on conformance, but they also focus on the performance of an internal audit function. In this session you will gain a clear understanding of actionable insights into trends and opportunities on how your internal audit function can enhance audit quality, ensure conformance, improve performance, boost your function’s maturity, elevate credibility with stakeholders, and help strengthen your organization’s ability to create, protect and sustain value.
