Every year, Protiviti partners with ISACA to conduct a benchmark of the IT audit profession and the challenges facing IT audit professionals and the companies they support.   This year’s report was  just released and it highlights the effects that digital transformation and recent cybersecurity events have had on IT audit.  This year’s key findings are:

  • Digital transformation and cyber security are influencing IT audit plans significantly.
  • There is greater visibility and awareness of IT audit’s role and responsibilities.
  • More partnering and collaboration are needed to counteract silo mindsets and behaviors.
  • IT audit needs to move the needle in boosting engagement with major technology projects.
  • Co-sourcing is on the rise, reflecting ongoing resource challenges.

There is a lot of useful information in the survey that internal audit teams can utilize to benchmark themselves against the industry and identify areas for improvement in your team’s skillsets.  Download the full survey and infographic on Protiviti.com
