In an era of interconnected "poly-crises". from geopolitical tensions to cybersecurity threats and climate risks, how can organisations build true resilience? The answer may lie in redefining the role of a traditionally overlooked function: internal audit.



Derek Lee, Vice President of The Institute of Internal Auditors Malaysia, joins us to explain why the role must evolve from a reactive "policeman" focused on past compliance to a proactive, forward-looking strategic advisor. 



He discusses Malaysia's significant corporate resilience gaps and how internal audit is becoming crucial for navigating modern challenges like ESG compliance and cyber threats.



We discuss:




The shift from a "policeman mindset" to a "trusted business partner."


Why only 2% of Malaysian organizations are prepared for today's key risks.


The growing challenge of ESG compliance and Scope 3 emissions reporting.


How AI is enabling auditors to focus on high-value strategic advisory work.


The "three lines model" for organizational risk and accountability.



For board members, C-suite executives, and risk professionals, this explores how to leverage internal audit as a strategic asset to navigate uncertainty and build a resilient organization.
