Staffing for the future of internal audit

Internal auditors with a background in IT or data analytics are in high demand these days. But finding internal auditors with this type of skill set is hard, and retaining them is even more challenging. Oftentimes, internal audit departments focus on adding to their staff by hiring a full-time, onsite auditor rather than considering some other talent models. With the limited pool of candidates available today, it’s time to shift that mindset.
