Risk management activities often occur across multiple functions such as Internal Audit, Risk Management, Compliance, Information Security. When these activities operate in silos, organizations may experience duplicate assessments, inconsistent risk reporting, and gaps in oversight. Additionally, today, a connected approach to risk is increasingly a business and regulatory expectation. Frameworks such as DORA, NIS2, and SEC Cybersecurity disclosure rules require organizations to demonstrate a more coordinated and transparent view of risk to support operational resilience.
This course introduces a practical approach to connected risk, helping Internal Audit professionals identify shared risks, coordinate oversight activities, and support clearer enterprise risk reporting. Through real-world examples and practical exercises, you will explore how Internal Audit can act as a facilitator and connector across risk functions—supporting stronger alignment, improved resilience, and more effective risk oversight.
