Who this is for
Why this matters now
Boards, audit committees and executives are asking harder questions, faster, with AI now in the room.
Delivering the plan isn't enough. Audit leaders are being judged on whether their work helps the organisation see clearly, decide better and follow through.
The next standard for internal audit isn't tidier reports. It's sharper judgement, stronger influence and reporting people actually use.
