Young Professionals Community Event - "New Global Internal Audit Standards"
The IIA Luxembourg Young Professional Community has the pleasure of inviting fellow Young Professionals to exchange about the new global internal audit standards.
When:
12 November 2024 from 12:00 – 14:00
What:
This event aims to present and exchange experiences among young professionals regarding the journey towards the implementation of the new Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS).
The beginning of this year saw the launching of the new standards. With only three months left until they become effective, the following questions become critical for internal auditors:
Where do we stand in the implementation of these new standards? What are the key factors to be considered to ensure a successful transition? What are the challenges ahead of us?
This event will provide an opportunity to discuss the main changes in the new Global Internal Audit Standards and share experiences among young professionals on how they are navigating this transition and how the implementation has been carried out at their companies.
Where:
The meeting will take place at the IIA Office, 4 Op de Leemen, L-5846 Fentange.
This meeting has limited capacity and is addressed to Young Professionals being IIA Luxembourg Members and is free of charge.
The places will be attributed on a first come first serve basis.
If you are planning to attend, please confirm your participation to ypc@iia.lu by 4 November 2024 at the latest.
A confirmation email will be sent to the registrants.
