Workshop on Auditing Governance, Strategy and Ethics

WORKSHOP ON AUDITING GOVERNANCE, STRATEGY, RISK MANAGEMENT AND ETHICS

Strategy, Governance, Ethics, Risk Management and other boardroom processes have historically been "no-go" areas for internal audit. Today, this is no longer the case and objective, independent assurance on governance is now seen as crucial. The latest IIA Standards are explicit in making these areas integral to the scope of Internal Audit. In addition, recent corporate disasters have highlighted the importance of establishing and maintaining a strong ethical culture. Banks and other businesses are now focusing specifically on conduct and reputational risks. The Board's oversight role increasingly extends to organizations culture and ethics - and internal audit faces the challenge of providing assurance in these "hard to audit" areas.
