BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Organisational culture is increasingly recognised as a key driver of behaviour, decision-making, and risk. Yet, it remains one of the most elusive elements to audit. This session explores the evolving role of internal auditors in assessing and influencing culture, especially in the context of governance, ethics, and strategic alignment. As regulators and stakeholders demand more transparency, auditing culture is no longer optional, it’s essential.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• Defining organisational culture: What it is and why it matters

• The internal auditor’s role in assessing culture

• Tools and techniques for auditing culture

• Indicators of a healthy vs. toxic culture

• Integrating culture audits into the internal audit plan

• Case studies

• Challenges and ethical considerations

This session offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the most complex and impactful areas of internal auditing. Whether you're a seasoned auditor or new to the field, you'll gain practical insights into how culture influences risk and performance and how to audit it effectively. Attendees will leave with actionable tools, fresh perspectives, and the chance to network with peers who are navigating similar challenges. For non-members, it’s a valuable window into the evolving scope of internal audit and a chance to engage with a professional community committed to excellence.
