A day dedicated to advancing women in audit by challenging barriers, sharing real experiences and inspiring progression and development
About this Event

Join us for an empowering and thought‑provoking event dedicated to advancing women within Internal Audit and Risk. This session will explore how we can collectively challenge organisational systems, cultural barriers, and long‑standing industry norms to create clearer, more accessible pathways for women seeking to move into senior and executive leadership positions.

Throughout the day, we’ll bring together a diverse community of audit and risk professionals, from those taking the first steps in their career to experienced leaders shaping strategic direction. While the event is designed for and centred on women in the profession, we warmly welcome male colleagues who wish to attend as active allies and supporters of gender equity in leadership


What to Expect From the Day

🔍 Insightful Discussions & Expert Perspectives
Attendees will hear from senior leaders, industry change makers and those who have successfully navigated the journey into leadership. We’ll explore:

  • The structural and cultural challenges that continue to limit progression for women
  • How internal audit functions can champion inclusive leadership
  • Practical strategies to create environments where all talent can thrive

💬 Interactive Panels & Real Career Stories
Our panel discussions will feature women at different leadership levels sharing their lived experiences, the turning points, setbacks, and decisions that shaped their career paths. These real‑world insights will help attendees understand the invisible barriers that often go unspoken, and the interventions that genuinely make a difference.

🧠 Skills, Tools & Practical Takeaways
Participants will gain actionable guidance on:

  • Building visibility and influence within an organisation
  • Navigating bias and advocating for yourself (and others)
  • Identifying sponsors, mentors, and supportive networks
  • Leading with confidence in traditionally male‑dominated environments

🤝 Networking & Community Building
There will be dedicated time for networking, encouraging attendees to connect with peers, share experiences, and build relationships that support their long‑term career development. This is a chance to meet like‑minded professionals who are passionate about shaping a more inclusive future for the audit and risk community.
