Efforts centered on investigating the impact of strategy on internal audit function activities and understanding which skills internal auditors utilize in aligning their activities to organizational strategy. The findings are of particular importance in the current context of an increasingly changing, responsive, and robust business environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">At its core is one major organizational factor \u2014 strategy. Interviews with CAEs, CEOs, and other members of management committees from diverse industries were conducted to more fully understand how organizational strategy can impact internal audit activities. Internal auditors then responded to a survey submitted by IIA North America to investigate these impacts globally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">The main conclusions drawn through analysis of the interviews and surveys show:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The business environment is increasingly moving toward digital.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>To stay aligned with the environment and its changes, the internal audit plan has to be dynamic.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Different strategic profiles have an impact on the activities performed by internal audit departments \u2014 especially the case with mergers, acquisitions, vertical integration, and unrelated diversification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">A list of practical implications is offered at the end of each section, providing advice for practitioners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">The Foundation makes many of its reports available as a free download.
