The audit is at a crossroads. Commoditization and compliance mentalities have diminished its value. Now, auditors face an existential crisis.

How can assurance stay relevant?

Join Alan Anderson, author of the newly published “Transforming Audit for the Future,” and Blake Oliver as they tackle pressing questions on audit’s failure to innovate and chart a new direction focused on value-added assurance.

You’ll get a dynamic diagnosis of threats plus practical ideas to transform the profession before external forces make change urgent. Discover what’s at stake if audit no longer matters and how leadership today can write a better tomorrow.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize the external and internal factors that have driven the decline in audit value and relevance.
  • Analyze why past and current audit leadership has failed to steer the profession toward innovation and higher strategic value.
  • Identify strategies and best practices from progressive assurance providers to transform compliance audits into forward-looking assurance and advisory engagements.
  • Develop an action plan for reinventing audit offerings that shifts the external auditor focus toward decision-useful insights tailored to stakeholder needs.
  • Appraise capabilities from emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and integrated analytics to leverage them in bridging assurance gaps and creating competitive differentiation.
