This session will provide practical, implementation-focused insights on applying the Topical Requirements within your audit function. Designed for internal audit directors and managers, the discussion will move beyond the requirements themselves to explore how to operationalize Topical Requirements in a way that supports consistent execution across engagements.
Participants will discuss how to integrate Topical Requirement risks into audit planning, fieldwork, and quality processes, while ensuring alignment with existing methodologies and risk priorities. Through peer exchange, attendees will gain actionable approaches to help strengthen both assurance and advisory activities related to topical risks.
