Continuous auditing leverages technology to provide ongoing assessments of risks and controls, enabling internal audit functions to offer continuous assurance to the board and senior management.
By integrating continuous auditing with continuous monitoring, organizations can enhance efficiency, risk management, and control effectiveness in a rapidly changing business environment.
