Critical Business Issues to be considered

Maintaining audit focus on business critical issues 1

• Identifying strategic risks through effective account management• Focusing audit accountability on “Big Tickets”

1. Pulse of the Profession – A Look Ahead at 2013, IIA Audit Executive Center November 2012

Leveraging technology to improve internal audit effectiveness• Only 20% of management believes audit’s performance in leveraging technology (automation, data and

advanced analytics) is strong 1

• Lack of technology to review and analyze audit data• Audit tools with poor usability require advance user training, skill sets, and as result of it, many audit

experts still use manual procedures to manage audits• Poor knowledge management result in audit delays and lower audit performance

Managing audit resources is increasingly important 1

• Ongoing budget pressure and constant need to improve effectiveness of team• Retention requires innovation and effective processes

Managing effective relationships with stakeholders• Increased pressure to move from “policeman” to “trusted advisor” role
