Overview

Emerging risk integration in audit risk assessment and risk-oriented audit planning, including geopolitical risks, environmental risks, G20 BowTie Risk Approach.

Strong risk volatility due to new geopolitical risks and their impact on global supply chains require further audit analysis and a dynamic design of audit planning. Global network influences, tightly synchronised international supply chains and shorter product cycles, in an environment that strongly influences corporate business models, demand a timely and forward-looking audit.

New audit analysis approaches are necessary in order to analyse cause-effect chains more foresightedly and to recognise "emerging risks" earlier. In doing so, it is not only necessary to apply techniques that are able to recognise "grey swans", but also to identify and evaluate new emerging risk combinations in the form of so-called "black swans" as early as possible. In order to be up to this task, it is important to promote new employee qualifications in analytical thinking in the form of meta-competences in addition to methodological tools such as bow-tie risk assessments.

In this training, you will learn analysis techniques for emergent risks as well as their integration into a dynamic audit process design or audit planning.
