What’s in this Survey Report from the Internal Audit Foundation:
Global Risk in Focus provides practical, data-driven research to help internal auditors and their stakeholders understand the current risk landscape and prepare internal audit plans for the years ahead. The research represents an ambitious expansion of the European Institutes Research Group’s annual Risk in Focus report and provides the first global view of risks from an internal audit perspective.
Global Risk in Focus is a series of reports customized for six global regions. Here are some of the key findings:
- Cybersecurity (73%), human capital (51%), business continuity (47%), regulatory change (39%), and digital disruption (34%) are the top five risks that chief audit executives (CAEs) see currently impacting their organizations across the globe.
- Over the next three years, CAEs across all regions expect risk levels to increase dramatically for digital disruption (34% to 55%) and climate change (19% to 39%).
- North American respondents view cybersecurity (85%), human capital (65%), and regulatory change (43%) as the top three risks currently impacting their organizations.
