Grant Thornton's fourth annual survey of more than 400 chief audit executives (CAEs) from U.S. organizations finds chief audit executives are facing the realities of a greater compliance burden. With limited internal audit resources, compliance requirements often take top priority. As a result, many CAEs are being forced to make difficult choices — asking for additional resources or deferring certain audits.

In this survey report, we examine numerous ways where CAEs can gain efficiency and maximize internal audit value to make room for ever-increasing regulatory requirements. Featured findings include:

Unseen costs of meeting compliance requirements

Ways to add value through compliance

Strategies to maximize current resources

New requirements that have changed the game
