Audit of the future: How are today’s challenges bringing forward the audit of tomorrow?

Business and societies in general only work if there is trust, and that means trust across all aspects of the corporate governance and reporting ecosystem. High-quality, independent assurance is an important element in supporting that trust. Corporate reporting and audit need to evolve to support the need for stakeholders to trust aspects of a company’s business and behaviors that go beyond just how its finances are managed. For auditors to meet this challenge, a wide range of skills is needed. This can best be delivered by a multidisciplinary practice and teams, but the responsibility isn’t solely that of auditors. All participants in the corporate governance and reporting ecosystem have a role to play in delivering the evolution needed.
