Assurance still runs on annual cycles. Risk no longer does.
Internal Audit is asked to provide confidence where risks change overnight, assurance comes from multiple providers, and AI is accelerating business decisions.
Risks move overnight
A plan agreed in Q1 can be out of date by Q2. Assurance has to re-prioritise at the pace risk shifts.
Assurance is shared
Three lines plus external providers. Reliance has to be visible and defensible.
AI raises the tempo
Decisions accelerate. Governance and assurance must keep pace without losing control.
The shift
- Periodic assessment
- Continuous assurance
The five questions
What the panel will put to the test
Practitioners from Internal Audit, Risk, Assurance and the Board perspective on what needs to change.
- QAIP & Conformance
Can you demonstrate Internal Audit quality and conformance continuously — or do you rebuild the evidence when an assessment approaches?
- Dynamic Planning
When a major risk changes, can your assurance plan change fast enough?
- Assurance Mapping
Can you clearly see who provides assurance over every major risk — and where the gaps are?
- Reliance
If the Audit Committee challenges your reliance on another assurance provider, can you show why that reliance was justified?
- AI Governance
As AI accelerates business decisions, can governance and assurance keep pace without losing control?
