Internal audit as a lever for better governance and risk control
Am I aware of the risks I take and the risks I’m willing to take? This question is more relevant than ever for organisations operating in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment. With rising regulatory demands (ESG, DORA, CSRD, AI Act) and greater stakeholder scrutiny, you need more than good intentions: independent, risk-based insights that help you make better decisions, stay compliant, and safeguard your reputation.
We see internal audit as a critical partner to the business and the board.
