Since 2013, the large and largest credit institutions in Europe have been under the uniform banking supervision of the European Central Bank (ECB). Through their rules and supervisory practice, the supervisory authority determines the activities of internal auditing to a significant extent. On the other hand, Internal Audit, as an ‘internal management tool’ in best sense of the words, represents an essential element of internal corporate governance. Internal audit is called upon to make visible contributions to the success of the company in an efficient, pro-active and risk-oriented manner. It is compulsory but challenging, to manage the existing set-up, especially since further stakeholders have, from their point of view, comprehensible demands and expectations on the activities of Internal Audit.

The presentation provides an overview of the current area of (potential) tension, combined with the opportunities and possibilities for the further operational development of the internal audit function under the given framework.

The importance of ESG for businesses and governments across the globe is undoubtedly on the rise. Increased focus driven by regulators and investors is demanding organizations to assess their well-being not only against financial metrics but also to reflect their Environmental, Social and Governance commitments. On top of that, businesses are under pressure to make public their dedication to Sustainability and ESG related strategies while ensuring the metrics they hold themselves against are suitably accurate. However, with little categorical guidance on what could still be considered an immature space of reporting, top business executives are struggling to accept the concept all together. In this session, we will review the basics of ESG Reporting, further highlighting recent regional regulations alongside the associated key challenges facing organisations. More importantly, we will shed light on the role Chief Audit Executives have on this in order to support management with giving advice and driving assurance on ESG matters.
