About the Forum
Baltic Risk and Audit Forum 2026: Transitioning Together brings together risk managers, internal auditors, and executives to discuss key developments shaping the risk and internal audit landscape.
The forum focuses on the evolving internal audit and risk management practices, risk environment, the impact of AI and digital risks, and emerging geopolitical challenges.
Discussions will also address the future role of internal auditors and risk managers, with perspectives from FERMA and IIA, and explore how organizations can balance risk and opportunity in the changing world.
Through expert perspectives, discussions, and networking, the forum aims to foster cross-functional and cross-border collaboration.
