The Institute of Internal Auditors Presents: All Things Internal Audit
Deborah Poulalion and Brian Tremblay unpack the top three
risks from the
2026 Risk in Focus report: geopolitical uncertainty, digital disruption, and cybersecurity. They discuss why these
risks are rising, how internal audit can approach "hard-to-audit" areas, and how to use
Risk in Focus to drive stronger conversations with leadership.
For a global perspective, read insights from audit leaders in the article
'Risk Around the World.'
