The future challenges of internal audit

The technological revolution was unleashed with the arrival of Blockchain; thus, digital transformation means a great challenge for companies. Accordingly, internal audit (understood as a supervising activity that add value and improves the operations of an organization) is not exempt from these changes. That is why the plenary sessions of CONAI 2019 revolved around the new skills that an internal auditor must develop regarding digital transformation, agile processes, risk management 4.0, cybersecurity, innovation, artificial intelligence and new practices relevant to internal auditing. These challenges require a paradigm shift which involves migrating from the traditional audit practices to a continuous and innovative way of auditing.

This year, as part of our commitment, we have once again sponsored the CONAI and we have had the privilege of having top-level speakers, such as Paul Sobel, who presented the transformation of the mythical COSO cube into the DNA of the internal control of organizations”.
