Participants will gain profound insights into International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the imperatives of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, and the exigency of Advanced Technological Integration. The overarching theme of agile auditing will be meticulously explored, elucidating the path toward a responsive and adaptive internal audit function. As sustainability ascends to a pivotal position within corporate governance, the seminar will meticulously examine the ramifications of ESG considerations on internal auditing.
