Enterprise Risk Management and The role of Internal Audit
Over the last 10 years, major industries including banking, infrastructure and oil industries have experienced a number of serious risks and risk events. From the global financial crisis to local economic and social-political challenges, a number of risks have emerged that were not considered important before. Regulators have also added to the pressure on banks and other industries to understand their risks and implement solutions that help manage these risks. Internal Audit has not been immune to this, where these events have highlighted the need for Internal Auditors to change the way they think and operate.
In this discussion we explore in detail what internal audit functions within enterprises are doing to discharge their risk management related responsibilities, while analyzing their key challenges:
In this session, the speakers will discuss:
- The current role of internal audit function

Local Attractions
Apartheid Museum:
The Apartheid Museum is a museum complex in Johannesburg dedicated to illustrating apartheid and the 20th century history of South Africa. An audio guide is available at the museum. Guided tours are also available and must be booked in advance. Apart from their permanent exhibition, the museum also has an ongoing programme of temporary exhibitions.

Constitution Hill:
The Constitution Hill precinct is located at 11 Kotze Street in Braamfontein, Johannesburg near the western end of the suburb of Hillbrow. Constitution Hill is the seat of the Constitutional Court of South Africa. The first court session in the new building at this location was held in February 2004. The hill was formerly the site of a fort which was later used as a prison. The original prison was built to house white male prisoners in 1892. The Old Fort was built around this prison later to protect the South African Republic from the threat of British invasion. Boer military leaders of the Anglo-Boer War were imprisoned here by the British. Both political activists opposed to apartheid and common criminals were held at the prison. Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned here in 1906 and Nelson Mandela in 1962. Joe Slovo, Bram Fischer, Albert Luthuli and Robert Sobukwe were also inmates in this prison.
Johannesburg Zoo:
The Johannesburg Zoo is a 140-acre zoo. Established in 1904, the zoo is dedicated to the accommodation, enrichment, husbandry, and medical care of wild animals, and houses about 2000 individuals of 320 species. Tours and excursions around the zoo are offered under the auspices of the zoo's education department. It is one of the few places in the world with white lions (a genetic mutation of African lions), and has had considerable success in their breeding; these are more sought after than tawny lions by other zoos. The Johannesburg Zoo is also the only zoo in South Africa to have successfully bred Siberian tigers, the largest cats in the world.
Cradle of Humankind:
The Cradle of Humankind is a World Heritage Site first named by UNESCO in 1999, about 50 kilometres northwest of Johannesburg in the Gauteng province. This site currently occupies 47,000 hectares; it contains a complex chain of limestone caves, including the Sterkfontein Caves, where the 2.3-million year-old fossil Australopithecus africanus (nicknamed Mrs. Ples) was found in 1947 by Dr. Robert Broom and John T. Robinson. The find helped corroborate the 1924 discovery of the juvenile Australopithecus africanus skull, Taung Child, by Raymond Dart, at Taung in the North West Province of South Africa, where excavations still continue. The name Cradle of Humankind reflects the fact that the site has produced a large number of, as well as some of the oldest, hominin fossils ever found, some dating back as far as 3.5 million years ago.
