IIA Virtual Symposium: Auditing Supply Chain Risk Disruption

Disruption associated with the pandemic has become a way of life for every individual and business around the world.

These disruptions have had a substantial impact on strategic and operational risks and have drastically changed customer preferences. Because of the bottom-line financial impact, internal audit is being tasked to serve as a watchful eye to ensure organizations and agencies are compliant with both internal procurement policies and regulatory requirements regarding supply chain management and proper financial reporting.
