🌟 Great kickoff at the Türkiye İç Denetim Enstitüsü (TİDE) IIA Turkiye IA Conference today with Massimiliano Turconi, the ECIIA President, leading the way!  During his opening speech, Massimiliano emphasised how the recent EU regulations offer a fantastic chance for internal audit to shine. The latest European Commission's push for implementation presents a unique opportunity for internal auditors to showcase their added value, especially in areas like #digitalisation and #sustainability.  As we move forward, the focus will be on competitiveness and resilience, which means we’ve got to step up our game! Here's what he highlighted: 🟢 Embrace digitalisation for enhanced efficiency and effectiveness. 🟢 Foster innovation and think outside the box. 🟢 Engage in strategic discussions while maintaining independence and objectivity. 🟢 Support governing bodies in their new responsibilities. 🟢 Take on more advisory roles with foresight capabilities. ➡️ To reach these goals, we need fresh talent—think data scientists, cybersecurity experts and engineers. It’s an exciting time to be in internal audit, and our passion is what will drive this evolution. Let’s keep pushing forward!
