LUNCHEON
Topic: Audit Never Sleeps
Topic Description: Internal audit practitioners must vigilantly identify and respond to risks that face their organizations. IIA 2016-17 Global Chairman Angela Witzany will discuss her theme, "Audit Never Sleeps," to highlight how internal auditors serve as trusted advisers and partners to boards, audit committees, and management, by providing round-the-clock assurance on the strategies and practices organizations adopt to address risks.
Witzany advocates for internal auditors to:
- Communicate well
- Adopt an integrated mindset
- Operate transparently and ethically
- Think strategically.
When internal auditors focus on these activities, they strengthen stakeholders' trust in internal audit's work, which provides assurance - everywhere, all the time - so the organization can better meet the challenges of a dynamic and complex business environment.

AFTERNOON SEMINAR 1
Topic: 2016 Global Chief Audit Executive Survey Discussion
Topic Description: Internal Audit stands at an evolutionary crossroads. Stakeholders need more than ever from the function as organizations face new risks, regulations, technologies, and challenges. How an Internal Audit function responds to these challenges in the next few years will determine its performance, value, and relevance to the organization. That is the message emerging from Deloitte’s global Chief Audit Executive survey, as noted in Evolution or irrelevance? Internal audit at a crossroads, the newly launched report of the survey results. With the participation of over 1,200 Chief Audit Executives (CAEs) in 29 countries and a full range of industries, this is Deloitte’s most comprehensive survey of Internal Audit to date.
Among the key findings
- Almost all CAEs expect their organizations and their functions to change substantially in the next few years.
- Internal Audit lacks the impact and influence that it wants and needs within the organization.
- The majority of CAEs are not satisfied with the skills and capabilities within their departments. Key gaps in specific skills, such as specialized IT and analytics, must be addressed in order to increase Internal Audit’s impact and influence.
- Significant opportunities exist to expand the use of analytics in Internal Audit and CAEs expect to do so.
- CAEs expect to evolve their stakeholder reporting from static text and presentation formats to dynamic reporting using visualization and analytics tools.
- Risk anticipation is the #1 innovative development expected to impact Internal Audit over the next 3 to 5 years, followed closely by data analytics.
Topic Objectives:
- Understand current trends and hot topics within Internal Audit
- Discuss the future of IA (over the next 3 – 5 years), as well as related challenges
