PwC’s 8^th annual examination of the internal audit profession focuses on this rising importance of risk management and internal audit's contribution by taking a closer look at how stakeholders and board members view critical risks and the role internal audit could be playing. The webcast specifically addresses the following questions:

• What are stakeholders' expectations of the internal audit function?
• What challenges were identified to internal audit playing a bigger and more strategic role in monitoring critical risks?
• How are the most progressive companies proactively handling risks by leveraging internal audit's assistance to monitor them?
• What are the four things that companies that manage risk well are doing to distinguish themselves from their peers?
