A world of challenges and opportunities: the internal auditor of the future

Internal audit has changed since its early days and is constantly evolving. In this article, we present our thoughts and opinion about the knowledge, skills, experience and characteristics that the internal auditor of the (near) future will need. We use the McKinsey Seven-S model to identify what the internal auditor of the future will be like. We present the knowledge, skills, experience, qualities and characteristics the internal auditor of the future will need to prove successful. Internal auditor?s transformation will be evolutionary, rather than revolutionary.
