Agile Internal Audit: transforming internal audit to add greater value

The demands on internal audit departments have significantly increased in recent years as a result of advances in technology, rigorous regulations, emerging risks and the desire for additional business insights. Traditional internal audit approaches are giving way to implementation of agile principles, through which internal audit departments are able to improve the collaboration and engagement with stakeholders and management. Organizations find they are able to respond faster to changing risks and priorities, accelerate audit cycles and increase the value obtained from audit and advisory engagements.

In this on-demand webinar, Baker Tilly specialists explore agile principles and scrum frameworks with practical application to internal auditing.
