ABOUT RISK IN FOCUS
Risk in Focus provides practical, data-driven research to help internal auditors and their stakeholders understand today’s risk environment and prepare audit plans for the year ahead.
Reports are based on a worldwide survey to identify current and emerging risks for each region, followed up with roundtables and interviews to discover leading practices for internal auditors.
Two reports are created for each region:
- Hot Topics for Internal Auditors – Detailed reports based on the survey, roundtables, and interviews.
- Board Briefing – Summary reports for internal auditors to share with stakeholders.
Risk in Focus Global is a collaborative partnership facilitated by the Internal Audit Foundation with generous support from IIA regional bodies, IIA Institutes, and corporate sponsors. 2024 marks the first year the project was conducted worldwide.
The Risk in Focus methodology was originally created in 2016 by the European Institutes Research Group (EIRG), which continues to publish it in Europe through the European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditing (ECIIA).
Reports are available free to the public at The IIA’s Risk in Focus resource page and at the websites for IIA regional groups: ACIIA (Asia Pacific), AFIIA (Africa), ARABCIIA (Middle East), ECIIA (Europe), FLAI (Latin America).
