Why Attend?

Organisational behaviour often labelled simply as "culture" is at the heart of both corporate success and failure. Yet internal audit has long struggled to address it due to perceived subjectivity, political sensitivity, and lack of structure. This webinar provides a step-by-step practical approach, drawing on the IIA's draft Topical Requirement on Organisational Behaviour, to give you the clarity, structure, and confidence to integrate culture into your audit work.

What You'll Learn

• Understand the IIA's Organisational Behaviour Topical Requirement - why it matters and how it reframes culture as a core audit topic.
• Embed behavioural risk into traditional risk-based audits - from cyber security to incentive schemes.
• Apply structured audit techniques - practical planning, fieldwork, and reporting approaches for culture reviews.
• Use behavioural frameworks - assess governance, risk management, and control processes that shape workplace behaviour.

Key Takeaways

• Practical tools and frameworks for auditing behaviour and culture.
• Real-world examples and thematic review templates.
• Confidence to engage senior stakeholders on behavioural risk.
• Clear documentation approaches to meet professional requirements.

Who Should Attend

• Internal Auditors (all sectors)
• Risk & Compliance Professionals
• HR Leaders involved in governance and ethics
• Board & Audit Committee Members
