The Internal Audit function of the Future

In most organizations, shareholders are not typically involved in the day-to-day operations of the company, but rather, they rely on the board of directors, management, and the company’s employees to protect and further their interests.

Internal audit is vital to maintaining effective risk management, internal controls, and robust corporate governance. In challenging times, internal audit can serve as a foundation in protecting shareholder value and instilling confidence in shareholders that the organization is well-governed.

BDO Internal Audit in East Africa is proud to present a five-part series of webinars on Internal Audit, covering diverse topics that are bound to add value to organizations that learn the lessons and implement them successfully.
