This article covers the risks around exit management and leavers...and how to audit them. In my experience, a neglected area. In the already neglected area of auditing people risk!

I love auditing these areas of risk, as well as delivering training on auditing HR, talent management, employee engagement, well-being and a host of related subjects. And the key risks and mitigations.

A real treat to work with Dr. Rainer Lenz on this article focused on ESG and the future of internal auditing.

I talk about a subject that has been long close to my heart, auditing aspects of human resources and people risk and some of my related training courses on these subjects for the Chartered IIA.

In this short article, I talk about a new, short course on Auditing Sanctions Risk that I have designed and deliver for the Chartered IIA.

In this article I focus on the key knowledge, skills, experience and characteristics that the internal auditor of the future will need. These are just my opinions of course! You may well disagree and that is fine and healthy. Enjoy!
