2021 NORTH AMERICAN PULSE OF INTERNAL AUDIT Many Sides of Crisis
Executive SummaryCOVID-19 continues to pose significant health and economic challenges in its second devastating year. Its impacts on organizations and internal audit have been diverse. The 2021 North American Pulse of Internal Audit: Many Sides of Crisis reflects that disparity in the opportunities the pandemic produced as well as the costs it extracted.The pandemic created an open audition for internal audit to showcase its value, particularly in response to the crisis management and business continuity risks at the onset of the pandemic. Indeed, responses from CAEs who reported staffing increases support that, for some, pandemic responses expanded the profession’s scope of work. In aggregate, the pandemic’s impacts were less than initially anticipated by internal audit leaders.

From Conformance to Ambition: Applying the Internal Audit Ambition Model
Internal Auditors’ Response to Disruptive Innovation
Organizations are embracing innovation and disruptive technology at breakneck speed. While these changes have many positive effects—often improving the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, increasing responsiveness to customer needs, or enhancing a competitive advantage—they are also associated with new and sometimes unknown risks. As trusted advisors and competent assurance pro-viders, internal auditors can provide meaningful input to the innovation decision and should be relied upon to ensure emerging risks are effectively mitigated. But, fulfilling these responsibilities can be chal-lenging for the internal audit function if it is not adequately informed about or prepared for changes.

Internal Auditors’ Response to Disruptive Innovation
Demonstrating the Core Principles for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing
This practice guide explains the concepts embodied in the Core Principles and describes enablers, or specific ways to enable and demonstrate them. The guide also identifies measurable key indicators that enable the internal audit activity to define, measure, assess, and monitor demonstration of the Core Principles. The chief audit executive (CAE) should use these enablers and key indicators to customize an approach to demonstrating the Core Principles that is most applicable to its internal audit team. This customized approach may be used as the basis for a self-assessment tool that may supplement the internal audit activity’s quality assurance and improvement program (QAIP), as well as providing an easy-to-understand, high-level communication of the internal audit activity’s value and effectiveness to key stakeholders, such as senior management and the board.
