Join us at the Volta Serene Hotel, Ho for the 6th IT Audit, Cyber Security & Risk Conference scheduled for Thursday, 18th June & Friday, 19th June 2026 from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.
Presenting on the day with other seasoned conference speakers is Wilfred Neneh Addico, Advisory Partner, Makers and Partners.
Neneh's topic for the conference is "Stakeholder Management for IT and Systems Auditors".
Effective stakeholder management has become a critical success factor in the conduct of IT and systems audits, particularly within Ghana’s increasingly digitalized and highly regulated business environment. Technical competence alone is no longer sufficient for successful audit execution. IT auditors must also possess the ability to engage stakeholders strategically, manage expectations, communicate complex technical issues in business language, and navigate organizational sensitivities without compromising audit independence.
This presentation explores practical stakeholder engagement approaches tailored for IT and systems auditors operating within Ghanaian public institutions, financial institutions, telecom companies, fintechs, and large private sector organizations. Drawing from real audit experiences and governance challenges, the session will address key areas such as stakeholder identification and mapping, understanding operational and reputational concerns, communication planning, handling resistance during audits, escalation management, negotiation of remediation actions, and effective reporting of audit findings.
The session will further demonstrate how poor stakeholder engagement can delay audit activities, restrict access to information, create resistance to findings, and ultimately weaken audit impact even where technical audit work is sound. Particular attention will be given to managing engagements involving CIOs, CISOs, IT operations teams, vendors, and executive management within complex governance structures common in Ghanaian organizations.
The presentation is designed to provide IT auditors with practical, actionable techniques to improve cooperation, strengthen audit effectiveness, enhance acceptance of audit findings, and support successful implementation of corrective actions. It aligns with global audit and governance best practices while remaining practical and relevant to the realities of IT audit execution in Ghana.
