Risk-based audit prioritization for comprehensive planning excellence

Are audits happening just because they’re scheduled? Or because risk demands them?

Ideagen supports risk-based planning in line with the Global Internal Audit Standards. Plan the timing and priority of audits based on risk assessments. Cover any time frame, be as agile as you need. Dynamic scheduling. Visual risk mapping. Catch issues before escalation.
