The world economy could more than double in size by 2050, far outstripping population growth, due to continued technology-driven productivity improvements. Emerging markets (E7) could grow around twice as fast as advanced economies (G7) on average Six of the seven largest economies in the world are projected to be emerging economies in 2050 led by China (1st), India (2nd) and Indonesia (4th).
The USA could be down to third place in the global GDP rankings while the EU27’s share of world GDP could fall below 10% by 2050.
UK could be down to 10th place by 2050, France out of the top 10 and Italy out of the top 20 as they are overtaken by faster growing emerging economies like Mexico, Turkey and Vietnam respectively.
The Internal Audit Profession will be a community of problem solvers combining human ingenuity, experience, and rapid technology innovation to deliver sustained outcomes. Automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics are changing the employment landscape across the country and around the world. Let’s not forget what the Pandemic has taught us about the future. We are already seeing many examples of companies accelerating purchases of new robotics that are cheaper, more flexible and safer than ever before. Is it not that far off that our analytical, compliance and writing skills could be replaced? The 20th Century adage that “Modern internal auditing, to be successful, must be grounded on management support and acceptance and on imaginative service to management.” That will continue to guide us well into the future. This session will explore ways Auditors can mount a continuing campaign to sell their products to executive management and the products will be of the quality that will capture and keep management’s interest. Audit work will move away from collecting data and pure compliance and towards more creative activities to take us to 2050 and beyond.
Are you taking the trip with us?
