The chief audit executive (CAE) has decided to outsource an audit of the organization's cloud governance in the annual audit plan. Why would the CAE outsource this audit?
The chief audit executive (CAE) may decide to outsource an audit of the organization's cloud governance due to a lack of proficiency within the internal audit staff. Cloud governance involves specialized knowledge and skills related to cloud technologies, security, compliance, and risk management. If the internal audit team lacks the necessary expertise to perform a comprehensive and effective audit in this area, outsourcing to external experts ensures that the audit is conducted with the required depth and quality.
