Our launch event was the first step in bringing together the profession to forge a new future for UK audit and assurance
Launch event – March 2025
Our launch brought together over 160 senior leaders – including regulators, policy makers, CEOs, Audit Committee Chairs, auditors, investors, professional bodies and commentators – to learn more about our objectives and ambition to help shape the future of the profession.
The keynotes and panels saw wide-ranging discussions and diverse perspectives on our central themes of growth and regulation, the value of reform, and the UK as a leading destination for capital. We also looked ahead to the future of the profession and how audit provides trust in times of uncertainty.
This event marks the start of the CPIA’s work to support focused and forward-looking engagement on the most important topics that underpin the value of audit.
