Deloitte Toumatsu Enhances Internal Audit Services for Evolving Business Landscape

Deloitte Toumatsu is enhancing its internal audit services to address the growing complexity of risks, including cyber threats, geopolitical issues, and climate change concerns, driven by digital and AI advancements. The firm aims to bolster corporate governance and support sustainable growth by evolving internal audit into a more strategic function.

The company emphasizes the need for internal audit to identify key risks and provide timely, effective recommendations. Deloitte Toumatsu's updated services are structured around two pillars: "Internal Audit Topics" and "Audit Themes Driven by Environmental Changes." This approach is designed to speed up organizational learning and improvement activities.

Key service areas include the advancement of internal audit through "Internal Audit 4.0," the impact of the 2024 IPPF and Global Internal Audit Standards, and the Financial Services Agency's initiatives for audit modernization. The firm also offers services for global internal audit structures, external quality assessments, and the digital transformation of internal audit functions.

Services related to environmental changes cover areas such as fraud, risk management, governance processes, royalty audits, third-party risk management, cybersecurity, personal data protection, AI, and sustainability audits. Deloitte Toumatsu is also revising its "Internal Audit Practice Handbook" to incorporate the latest themes and standards, providing practical guidance for audit professionals.
