Global risks including cybersecurity, human capital, business continuity, and regulatory complexity take center stage, while regional variations illuminate unique challenges faced by different parts of the world. For example, cybersecurity and human capital dominate North America's priorities, geopolitical uncertainty and climate change are top of mind in Europe, and Latin America is focused on regulatory change and digital disruption.

Anticipating an escalation in risk levels over the next three years, especially in digital disruption and climate change, thought leaders echo a global consensus on evolving risk priorities. As audit teams look ahead, understanding and assessing key risks facing their organizations and helping leadership navigate the challenges that come along with these risks will be critical.
