ECIIA conference 2024
InterContinental Budapest, hungary
26-27 September
Welcome to the ECIIA – Solve The Puzzle Conference!
The connection between puzzle solving and the internal auditor profession lies in the intricate nature of auditing tasks. Much like solving a puzzle, auditors piece together information by navigating through complexities. Both require analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to see the bigger picture by connecting various elements.
In our upcoming conference the puzzle-solving mindset becomes a practical tool to embrace the opportunity of engaging with industry leaders, share best practices, and stay at the forefront of internal audit advancements at the 2024 ECIIA Conference — your gateway to shaping the future of audit.
Join us in engaging sessions, productive discussions, and memorable evenings enjoying Hungarian cuisine and culture. This conference will energize you to return home with fresh perspectives and solutions to the major challenges in your role.
