Effective Audit Knowledge in a World of Digital Transformation

IIA Switzerland and the Audit Research Center successfully held the Swiss Audit Championship together. As a unique experience, the auditors learned about the innovative learning opportunities with the help of an individually created serious business game. More than 70 auditors trained live at the conference. Gamification is an essential element in the digital transformation of HR development in internal auditing. The participants were not only able to acquire new knowledge in these areas, but also participated in exciting challenges with and against each other.
