Agile Auditing

Young Professionals Community Event - "Agile auditing"

The IIA Luxembourg Young Professional Community has the pleasure of inviting fellow Young Professionals to exchange insights about agile auditing.

When:

8 July 2024 from 12:00 – 14:00

What:

This event aims to explore the principles and core values of the Agile methodology in the internal audit context.

Internal audit faces major challenges today, including the ability to adapt to changes that impact its environment. In turn, internal auditors must be sufficiently responsive to these changes and be able to anticipate new risks by adopting a proactive approach.

We will explore the key concepts of agile audit vs traditional audit methods. This will also serve as an opportunity to discuss how auditors have experienced this methodology and how we could implement it in our daily business operations. The objective is to share insights and best practices related to this unique methodology amongst young professionals.

Where:

The meeting will take place at the IIA Office, 4 Op de Leemen, L-5846 Fentange.

This meeting has limited capacity and is addressed to Young Professionals being IIA Luxembourg Members and is free of charge.

The places will be attributed on a first come first serve basis.

If you are planning to attend, please confirm your participation to ypc@iia.lu by 1 July 2024 at the latest.

A confirmation email will be sent to the registrants.

If you cannot join us this time, but would like to be included in our dedicated Young Professional Community mailing list and benefit from first hand information about our YPC activities, please sign up by email to ypc@iia.lu as well.
