IT audit leaders and teams worldwide, and their business and technology partners in their organizations, face a broad range of challenging issues today.

Cybersecurity and privacy. Data management and governance. Building effective partnerships with the IT organization. Dealing with ongoing digital transformation and disruption. And, perhaps most important, addressing resource and talent challenges.

These types of issues are explored in detail in a research report from ISACA and Protiviti, Today’s Toughest Challenges in IT Audit: Tech Partnerships, Talent, Transformation, which presents the results of their 2019 Global IT Audit Benchmarking Survey.

In this episode, recorded in partnership with ISACA, Robin Lyons from ISACA and Andrew Struthers-Kennedy of Protiviti share their insights about the findings from their study and the trends they reveal. Robin is Technical Research Manager with ISACA, an independent, nonprofit, global association that engages in the development, adoption and use of globally accepted, industry-leading knowledge and practices for information systems. Andrew is a Managing Director with Protiviti and leader of the firm’s global IT audit practice.
