Internal Auditing and its related disciplines are currently undergoing profound changes that impact our daily practice. The introduction of the New Global Standards, increasing cybersecurity and data risks, rapid developments of disruptive technologies, among other relevant conditions, lead us to rethink the knowledge and skills that we need to meet the expectations of our organizations and stakeholders in a constantly changing scenario.
Aware of the challenging horizon that lies ahead for all internal auditors, IIA-Mexico has prepared in 2024 a Technical Program for its National Conference that not only covers the most relevant advancements in the traditional fields of our profession.
We have also incorporated aspects that are rapidly and fundamentally transforming Internal Auditing. Our aim is to help practitioners adding value and elevating the impact of their practice in all type of organizations, through a holistic perspective that includes: Ethics and Compliance; ESG; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Data Analytics; Artificial Intelligence; RPA; Multidisciplinary Team Creation; Soft Skills, among other decisive topics.
Additionally, in conjunction with its National Conference and as part of the grand celebration of our Institute's XL Anniversary, this 2024 IIA-Mexico presents the National Forum on Fraud and Corruption, a fundamental event that supports efforts to build effective barriers against corruption and fraud, based on an objective, competent and professional perspective.
Through these events and their comprehensive Technical Programs, led by the most prominent national and international leaders in their fields, IIA-Mexico invites all committed professionals from around the world to strengthen the impact of their functions and to continue demonstrating the great value and relevance of Internal Auditing and Antifraud endeavors amidst today's dynamic and complex scenarios.
This 2024, as OneIIA let us all keep Elevating Impact!
