Join us for an interactive discussion tailored for assurance professionals, focused on the practical implementation of coordinated assurance across the Three Lines. In alignment with the IIA’s International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF), this session explores how internal audit can lead collaboration with other assurance providers, risk function and management to maximise assurance coverage, reduce duplication and strengthen risk oversight.


Through shared experiences and practical examples, we’ll examine how to overcome barriers and drive greater impact through a unified approach. Key points to be discussed include:


Understanding coordinated assurance - What it means in practice

  • Clarifying roles across the three lines - Avoiding overlap
  • Collaboration in action - Practical examples of coordination that delivers value
  • Overcoming common challenges - Navigating silos, resistance, and communication gaps
  • Enhancing assurance results - Turning coordination into strategic advantage for the organisation
