We are pleased to invite you to the first event from the KPMG’s Internal Auditors Exchange! During this inaugural session, we will explore the important topic of Auditing the Strategic Planning Process. This in-person event is tailored specifically for Internal Auditors and those practising the profession.

Ensuring the organisation is well equipped to execute its strategy and to respond to the changing environment, as well as the results of its own monitoring, should be one of the top concerns of the Chief Audit Executive. The internal audit function should not only be able to respond to the risks provoked by not having an strategic planning process in place, but must also be able to assess whether the business is executing the process in the best possible manner.

Join us for an engaging session that will not only delve into these pressing topics but also foster meaningful discussions among peers. Attendees will have the opportunity to exchange perspectives, share challenges, and discuss solutions for navigating the evolving landscape of corporate strategy and culture in Internal Audit.

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