Filling key positions — including that of the Head of Internal Audit — with the right professionals can be a significant challenge, particularly since such decisions have a long-term impact on the quality of work carried out in the area. In many cases, a carefully considered selection process is preferable to a quick decision, even if it takes more time.
On the other hand, in today’s labor market — marked by high turnover — organizations must show greater flexibility if they wish to retain highly qualified and proven colleagues for the long term. This includes, for example, keeping a position open during extended periods of absence (such as long-term illness, sabbatical, or maternity leave) and ensuring that appropriate interim coverage is arranged.
In both scenarios, the temporary replacement of the absent leader with external resources (interim management) may become necessary. If such a need arises, ABT is fully prepared to support your organization. Our professionals — with extensive experience, including in senior leadership roles — can effectively and precisely bridge the gap, ensuring the continuity of high-quality internal audit activities during the transition.
