Reconnect with the South West internal audit community for an engaging day of fresh ideas, practical insight and shared experience.
About this event
In the morning hear from our keynote speakers covering the latest on Behavioural RIsk. Explore how AI is reshaping internal audit, discover approaches that support wellbeing and sustainable performance, and hear the latest developments affecting the profession.
In the afternoon, delegates can choose from a range of World Café-style sessions focused on the internal audit hot topics that matter most. Rather than a traditional presentation, these smaller, informal discussions give attendees the chance to get up close and personal with speakers, ask questions, share experiences and explore practical ideas and new perspectives they can take back to their own teams along with valuable peer connections to support their work.
Key messages:
• Reconnect, share ideas and build valuable relationships with the South West internal audit community.
• Discover how AI can enhance internal audit while being used responsibly and effectively.
• Explore practical ways to support wellbeing, resilience and sustainable performance.
• Stay informed about the latest developments, challenges and opportunities shaping internal audit.
• Leave with actionable insights, fresh perspectives and new connections to apply in your organisation.
