Public sector organizations rely on internal audit to provide independent, objective assurance that the organization’s strategic mission, vision, policies and procedures are functioning as intended, and to deliver value-added insights to improve operations. To keep pace with the rapid changes facing today’s organizations, internal audit must remain fluid and adaptable in order to proactively identify and prioritize risks. Agile principles enable the audit function to focus on organizational needs, accelerate audit cycles and provide higher-quality insights. Join Baker Tilly to learn about the principles of agile and important factors when considering implementation at your organization.
