GPI: Agility and Innovation

IIA Global benadrukt in een nieuwe ‘Global Perspectives and Insights’ het belang van agility en innovatie door de IAF en biedt daar handvatten voor. Beide onderwerpen zijn nauw met elkaar verweven en essentieel om als IAF relevant te zijn en echte toegevoegde waarde te blijven bieden.

"If internal auditors are to remain relevant and add real value to their organizations, their speed, flexibility, and proactive approach to problem solving must be optimized. The report Perspectives and Insights: Agility and Innovation defines what it means to be agile and innovative in today's marketplace and how the two are interdependent.

The modern internal audit function needs to tie traditional audit activities more closely to the organization’s strategic objectives and risks. Most chief audit executives (CAEs) recognize that reality already — either at some visceral level, through conversations with the board and executives in the first line of defense, or through implementation of The International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. In fact, conformance to the Standards requires that internal audit evaluate risks from the perspective of achieving the organization’s strategic objectives. This is not optional, but rather a necessity to ensure internal audit serves its role to protect and enhance organizational value."
