Format:
As expectations of internal audit continue to rise, CAEs must lead functions that are agile, credible, and clearly value‑driven. This session explores how leading CAEs define, evidence, and communicate value to stakeholders, while adapting audit plans, skills, and engagement models to evolving risks and expectations. Through facilitated discussion and peer exchange, attendees will gain insights on sustaining relevance, resilience, and impact as the profession continues to evolve.
