We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming event in KPMG’s Internal Auditors Exchange!

In this session, we will explore the practical implementation of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) – a transformative regulation that redefined how financial entities manage ICT risk and operational resilience. This session will unpack DORA’s key pillars – ranging from ICT risk management and incident reporting to third-party oversight and resilience testing – through the lens of internal audit. We will discuss how auditors can add value by:

• Assessing readiness and control design
• Identifying implementation gaps
• Assuring third-party risk frameworks
• Supporting effective governance and reporting structures

Join us for this engaging session that will focus on how the internal audit function can assess, support, and enhance compliance efforts. Whether you’re at the start of your DORA journey or looking to strengthen your audit coverage of digital resilience, this session will provide actionable insights, real-world examples, and an opportunity to exchange perspectives with peers navigating this critical regulatory shift.

We look forward to your participation. Please register now to secure your place!
