Sandro Boeri, the President of the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors UK and Ireland, and Sally Clark, Chair of the Independent Audit Committee for the Rewrite of the Institute of Internal Audit Code of Practice, join us.

The discussion revolves around the new Internal Audit Code of Practice, its implications, and the broad strategic value it aims to bring to the profession. Key points include the importance of organisational culture, adapting to emerging risks like AI and ESG, fostering a diverse workforce, and leveraging the code for team development and strategic alignment.
