How the career profile of Internal Audit is changing

The internal auditor has a very specific and often relatively isolated role within the company. He is very close to the board of directors and management and yet not part of them. Digitalisation is also creating new challenges for risk management - companies need to be more vigilant than ever. While business remains the same, individual processes are becoming increasingly dependent on data and its in-depth analysis. It is thus clear that the career profile of an “internal auditor” will change to being that of a “business risk analyst”.
