Implementing Data Analytics in Internal Audit

Data analytics put to work inside the audit function — where analytics fit the audit lifecycle, and how teams move beyond sample-based testing.

The programme

Internal audit functions that still test by manual sampling cannot keep pace with the data their organisations generate. This programme addresses the practical question of putting analytics to work inside the audit function: where analytics belong in the audit lifecycle, which audit areas repay the investment first, and how a team builds the capability without stalling the audit plan. The cohort works through the adoption decisions chief audit executives actually face — from tooling and skills to presenting analytics-driven findings in a form audit committees can act on.

What you will do

Position analytics within the audit lifecycle, from planning and scoping through fieldwork to reporting.
Move from sample-based testing towards fuller-population analysis where the data supports it.
Prioritise the audit areas where analytics pay back first.
Build analytics capability inside the audit team, including the skills and tooling decisions.
Present analytics-driven findings in a form audit committees can act on.

Who attends

  • Chief audit executives and chief internal auditors
  • Internal audit teams and practising auditors
  • Audit committee members and chief risk officers
  • Heads of IT audit
  • CFOs, chartered accountants and finance professionals

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.
