In today’s dynamic risk environment, internal audit functions must remain agile, adaptable, and responsive to rapid changes within organizations. Traditional audit processes often lack the flexibility needed to deliver timely and relevant insights. This is where the Agile Audit Scrum Master steps in—a pivotal role that ensures audit teams are aligned, focused, and continuously adding value to the organization.

This interactive training session will equip attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to take on the role of Scrum Master within an agile audit environment. Participants will explore how the Scrum framework—originally developed for software development—can be adapted to internal auditing to deliver iterative, high-impact audit work that aligns with shifting risk landscapes.

You’ll gain a solid foundation in agile and Scrum principles, with practical insights into how these frameworks enhance audit team performance. The session will cover the core components of Scrum, including key roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Team Members), essential events (Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Reviews, and Retrospectives), and key artifacts (Product Backlogs, Sprint Backlogs, and Increment Deliverables). Emphasis will be placed on how these elements can be customized for use in internal audit environments.

As an Agile Audit Scrum Master, you’ll learn how to facilitate team collaboration, remove impediments, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. You’ll also understand the importance of transparency, inspection, and adaptation—core values of agile—that help audit teams respond to emerging risks in real time.

Moreover, you’ll discover how to provide meaningful feedback to the Chief Audit Executive (CAE), helping to align audit priorities with organizational risk and strategy. By the end of the session, you will walk away with a clear roadmap for leading agile audit teams, enhancing audit quality, and maximizing the value delivered to stakeholders.

Whether you are an experienced auditor looking to expand your leadership role or a new team leader navigating agile environments for the first time, this training is designed to provide you with actionable strategies, templates, and techniques that you can begin using immediately.
