One of today’s key challenges is ensuring that the vast amount of information being generated reaches the right stakeholders in a well-prepared format — meaning free of redundancies, clarified for accuracy, and tailored to the specific needs of the recipients. This is especially critical for key stakeholders, such as executive management, owners, and their representative bodies.
In the context of internal audit and other internal control functions, this issue holds particular importance. By design, executives and owners are the primary audience for internal audit and monitoring reports. It is essential that the messaging from the various internal monitoring functions is coherent and aligned — and only diverges when a genuine issue or difference of opinion exists among the functions.
Integrated Assurance is aimed precisely at achieving this alignment — and more:
It seeks to optimize resource use by not only aligning reporting, but also coordinating audit and assurance plans and activities across functions to ensure comprehensive and efficient coverage of organizational risks.
