Changes in today’s business environment and the associated risks are only accelerating. Internal auditing requires commitment and a framework of clearly articulated principles, leading-practice standards, and timely guidance that not only acknowledge but also anticipate these changes. For internal audit to keep up with an ever-changing environment, learn how the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) is evolving to effectively support the profession and meeting the many challenges ahead.

Organisations are rapidly evolving through innovation and technological advancements. Emerging technologies are redefining business models, products and processes and creating vast opportunities but also new areas of risk. The role of Internal Audit (IA) is vital in providing independent insights into the adequacy and effectiveness of risks and controls for the Audit Committee and Board, but IA can also play a key role as trusted risk and controls advisor to the business embarking on emerging technology journeys.

Lyon Poh, Partner and Head of Digital & Technology, KPMG Singapore spoke on the topic, “The Role Of Internal Audit In Relation To Emerging Technologies” at IIA Singapore’s Annual Conference 2019 and shared insights in the applications and risks of emerging technologies (particularly in relation to AI, Blockchain and Cloud); and discussed the need for agility and change in IA to better address these technologies in the rapidly evolving business and technology landscape.
