The Top 2023 Audit Plan Hot Spots

These audit hot spots are typically top-of-mind issues for boards, audit committees and executives. Audit leaders use this information to benchmark audit plan coverage and educate key stakeholders on emerging risks. This year’s report includes 12 risks across IT, operational, financial and strategic themes, led by cyberthreats, IT governance, data governance and third-party risk management.
