Agenda

Implementing data analytics in Internal Audit undoubtedly depends on choosing the right software. However, the key challenges arise long before any technology is selected. A lack of acceptance, organizational resistance, and communication barriers often slow down data-driven initiatives at an early stage.

As with any platform, nothing works without a solid foundation. Before technology can have an impact, the necessary organizational and cultural foundations must be established.

In this Audit Spotlight hosted by IIA Austria, Sebastian Bechinger, Head of Internal Audit & Controls at STARK Deutschland, and Florian Popan, CEO of dab, shed light on precisely those topics that are rarely discussed.

Key Takeaways

  • Where typical resistance arises, including data protection, IT, works councils, and stakeholders
  • How to convince Internal Audit leaders and decision-makers and build acceptance
  • The role of change management, expectation management, and early successes
  • Which organizational foundations need to be in place before technology can have an impact

Join us for a practical discussion about what really matters when implementing data analytics successfully in Internal Audit.
