Understanding the Landscape of Higher Education Risks and Internal Audit Considerations for FY25

Join us for an insightful session on the latest trends and considerations in Higher Education Risk and Internal Audit.

Our specialist will delve into the current and emerging risks impacting universities, shedding light on the key impacts on financial sustainability due to changes in government funding and international student visa caps, as well as wage compliance as this remains a focus across the sector.

We will also discuss potential topics and suggestions on scope areas suitable for thematic risk reviews and FY25 Internal Audit plans.

In addition, you will also walk away with key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations relevant to higher education institutions. As we examine best practices for ESG reporting in other sectors, our ESG expert will explore with you how universities can respond to ESG expectations set by both regulators and stakeholders.

Register today and don’t miss this opportunity to hear first-hand from our industry peers.
