Event Details

An article published by World Economic Forum intimated that "given the past 3 years of continuous economic and social disruption, we may have entered a new business era dictated by radical changes and systemic challenges and that in this new environment, efficiency measures won't help the business survive or grow". Therefore, organizations must look (purposively) for and optimize opportunities to grow and create new businesses to sustain relevance and achieve long-term success.


In the same breath and reflectively, Internal Auditors must adapt and evolve to meet the organization and profession's changing needs and challenges. Internal Audit is also called upon to enhance effectiveness and relevant outcomes to create more value for its stakeholders.


This regional conference of the Asian Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditors (ACIIA) is an excellent and fitting opportunity for internal auditors to discuss prevalent and emerging risks and challenges, get updated on new technologies and leading practices, engage with IIA global and regional leaders, and learn from subject matter experts and peers in the Asia Pacific region.

Sustaining relevance and elevating impact form a powerful exhortation to stay ahead of the curve and create value for the organization and the profession. Collectively and together makes an even stronger voice and unified message - #OneIIA.
