About Audit 2030: The Future of Audit

The future of internal audit will be shaped by a convergence of technological, regulatory, and workforce changes. From growing pressure to demonstrate AI value and navigate divergent regulations to managing perpetual disruption and talent shortages, audit leaders face an increasingly complex risk environment. This report identifies the forces expected to have the greatest impact on internal audit through 2030 and outlines their implications for both assurance activities and audit function strategy.

The report examines four critical forces: the promise and pressures of AI ROI, unpredictable divergent regulation, the age of perpetual disruption, and the talent supply crisis. It provides practical guidance to help CAEs strengthen risk oversight, improve strategic planning, modernize talent development, and position the audit function to deliver trusted assurance and strategic insight in a rapidly changing world.
