IT Controls Automation: Where Internal Audit Can Lead the Shift

The Institute of Internal Auditors Presents: All Things Internal Audit In this episode, Mike Levy sits down with Reebu George to get practical about one of the most significant shifts underway in internal audit right now: the automation of IT controls.
