What:
We will introduce you to the Risk in Focus 2025 report and will then discuss together in an interactive session about our point of views, perspectives, challenges and opportunities.

The report is based on survey responses from CAEs across Europe, roundtable discussions and one-to-one interviews, and seeks to highlight key risk areas to help internal auditors prepare their independent risk assessment work, annual planning and audit scoping.
