What we're watching

Governance Dynamics
The co-hosting of the GRC Conference with the IIA signals a deepening convergence of internal audit and broader governance practices, potentially creating new service offerings and competitive pressures.
Certification Demand
The focus on Advanced AI certifications through virtual workshops suggests ISACA anticipates significant demand for specialized training, and its success will depend on the perceived value and rigor of these credentials.
