Why integrated audit and risk management matters

Boards do not want separate audit and risk updates they have to piece together themselves. They want a single, coherent picture of which strategic risks have been assured and where gaps remain.

Our guide draws on Risk in Focus 2026 research from more than 4,000 CAEs to show how connecting your audit and risk functions delivers stronger assurance, better reporting and less duplicated effort.
