The event which will gather representatives of central banks from 15 Francophone countries from Europe, Africa, Central America, North America and Asia, will tackle subjects related to internal audit from the perspective of current challenges and assure the exchange of experience.
The participants will talk, in particular, about the role of internal audit in the fight against corruption and development of institutional integrity climate, interaction between internal and external audit, topics related to the management of the audit process and operational risks as elements of corporative governance.
Therefore, experts will share practices and recommendations in terms of internal control regarding the new models of governance applied in central banks, as well as the public independent supervision carried out through the Council of Supervision and Audit Committee. Discussions on advanced techniques of digital audit and Big Data type analyses are also on the agenda.
