Connected Risk – The interconnection between risk and internal audit
May 22, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT
Webcast overview
In today’s rapidly changing business environment, the interconnectivity of risk across different functions is more critical than ever. Understanding and managing these connections can drive success across the enterprise. This new installment of the KPMG On the CAE Agenda KnowledgeCast series will explore the interdependency between the risk and internal audit functions and how this relationship can help drive value across the enterprise.
Our discussion will feature a fireside chat with two esteemed CAEs who also lead the ERM function at their respective organizations. They will provide insight into how their roles have evolved and fostered value for their enterprises.
Following this fireside chat, a panel of CAE luminaries from various sectors will discuss the interconnectivity of risk impacting their organizations. They will also focus on how the internal audit function can partner with other risk assessing organizations across their respective enterprises.
You can expect these discussions to yield insights that can help you build a more holistic risk assurance model and increase stakeholder trust.
Topics we will cover through:
- The interconnectivity of risk: How one risk connects to others, creating a web of potential vulnerabilities.
- The evolution of the risk and internal audit roles: A deep dive into the evolution of how the business landscape has inspired risk and IA functions to adapt, and opportunities where leaders can expand their roles.
- Connected risk assurance: How organizations can improve the integration of assessing, managing, and monitoring risks.
- Digital connection: How to leverage data to design monitoring programs that integrate across the risk assurance community.
- Building stakeholder trust: Methods to aggregate insights in ways that drive value and elevate stakeholder trust.
