Every decision leaves an echo. The choices we make—and those we choose not to make—shape outcomes, create consequences, and define the way forward.
Building on a long-standing and successful cooperation, Institute of Internal Auditors od North Macedonia (IIA North Macedonia) and Institute of Certified Auditors of Republic of North Macedonia (ICARNM) are once again joining forces to bring together professionals from internal and external audit, risk management, compliance, accounting, and related fields for International Audit Conference 2026.
Set against the inspiring backdrop of Lake Ohrid at Hotel Metropol, this year’s conference will explore timely topics in IT security, human capital, audit, risk, compliance, and ethics, led by renowned international and local speakers and experienced professionals.
Join us for another memorable conference experience—an opportunity to gain new insights, exchange knowledge, expand your professional network, and connect with colleagues in a unique setting.
Secure your place on time and be part of an experience where ideas are shared, connections are made, and every decision can leave a lasting echo.
Important Notice: The registration deadline is 10 September 2026!
