Ready and Relevant: Prepare to Audit What Matters Most

Topics include:

• Internal audit as a rotational department
• Knowing what matters most — enterprise risk management (ERM)
• Building a more diverse resource plan
• Focusing on competencies more than skills
• Proactive relationship management
• Revisiting and overcoming challenges
