We are pleased to welcome you to our 2025 Internal Audit Analytics survey.

We surveyed organisations across industry sectors to understand their future vision and strategy for Internal Audit (IA) digital and analytics. As with prior surveys, we focused on challenges, opportunities, and key learnings from organisational adoption.

The 2025 Deloitte Internal Audit Digital & Data Analytics Survey reveals a dynamic and evolving landscape for internal audit, marked by significant progress in digital transformation and a growing embrace of data-driven practices. This report highlights key trends and challenges, offering valuable insights for functions looking to cultivate a thriving digital ecosystem.

Key findings from our 2025 report include:

• Generative AI's (GenAI) rapid rise is transforming internal audit, with many functions already using tools like Microsoft Co-pilot to boost efficiency, improve decision-making, and uncover new insights.
• A remarkable 90% of internal audit functions now have digital and analytics plans fully integrated with their strategic objectives, demonstrating a strong commitment to using technology to improve audit quality and add strategic value, in line with updated professional standards.
• Limited data access and poor data quality remain significant barriers to fully leveraging digital and analytics tools in internal audit.
• Developing digitally skilled teams through upskilling and strategic investment is key to navigating the evolving digital landscape in internal audit.
