Abstract: Over time, the evolution of the expectations of the stakeholders has constantly changed the perspective on the role of internal audit. Given the speed of technological change and globalization of markets, the internal audit function needs to evolve to help the organization understand and manage the associated risks, achieve the expected results from automation, and continue to innovate to achieve added value. The central place that the internal audit occupies within the organization is the result of a professional, objective work, raised at the level of the requirements and standards, as well as at the level of the constantly moving economic environment. In this paper we want to emphasize that a good mastery of computer techniques and innovations, as well as a permanent updating of the changes brought by the regulations in the field, can only bring a higher quality of the services offered by the internal audit, by well fundamental opinions and solid proposals. Thus, the pursuit of this profession would not be possible without the existence of the benchmarks represented by norms, directives, policies and standards, all together making up the complete set of tools with which a true auditor will begin the journey on the missions successfully and operationally accomplished. The main objective of this article is to make a short incursion of the concept and importance of internal auditing and reviewing the requirements of the new EN ISO 19011: 2018 standard.
Keywords: Internal Audit; Challenges; Digital Revolution; New Skills; ISO 19011: 2018.
