About Audit Club

A space for open discussion among auditors

Audit Club is an independent platform for internal and external IT and security auditors.

We create a confidential environment for discussing real audits, methodology and findings that cannot be resolved by ticking a box. The discussion rests on confidentiality, impartiality, independence and the Auditor's Code of Ethics.

Expert guests by topic

Audit Club meetings are exceptional because they focus on topics that matter to IT auditors. Unlike conferences or workshops built on one-way information transfer, Audit Club gives much more room for expert discussion and exchanging experience.

The motivating atmosphere in the club is the reason I make time a priority and attend the next meetings as well.

After the second Audit Club meeting I was glad this initiative continued and gave IT auditors a good way to exchange experience and get to know the experts in this small community in Slovakia. Thank you to the Qubit team for the opportunity, I look forward to the next meetings and topics.

I very much enjoy attending Audit Club meetings, not only because of the chairman but also the invited expert guests. Thanks to the participants, these meetings are valuable and inspiring for me. Thank you also for the excellent organisation and preparation.

How are the 27 EU countries preparing for audits under NIS2 and local regulations?
