Institute of Internal Auditors - Australia

🔍 Reflecting on Our In-Person Roundtable: Elevating Internal Audit's Role in Information Security Thank you to all who joined our recent roundtable discussion with Australian Prudential Regulation Authority focused on advancing internal audit’s role in information security, particularly in the context of APRA’s CPS 234 Information Security standard. This in-person event brought together internal audit leaders, representatives from APRA, and experts from the Institute of Internal Auditors to tackle critical topics and share insights under Chatham House Rules. The roundtable discussion covered essential themes, including: 🔹 Insights from APRA on common cyber resilience themes 🔹 Success stories and challenges in auditing information security 🔹 Strategies for internal audit to boost cyber resilience across organizations 🔹 How internal audit can effectively shape board-level decisions on security 🔹 Moving beyond compliance to strengthen internal audit as a strategic advisor 🔹 Leveraging new standards to enhance internal audit’s advisory role 💡 Key Takeaways Attendees participated in insightful exchanges on governance, controls, and assurance, and explored collaborative solutions to enhance cyber resilience. We’re inspired by the shared commitment to strengthening internal audit’s value and impact across Australia. This limited-capacity event allowed for dynamic, high-value discussions. Thanks to our attendees for their participation, and we look forward to future gatherings focused on empowering the internal audit profession. #InternalAudit #CyberResilience #InformationSecurity #Leadership #AuditProfession
