22 Virtual Brochure – March 2025 Placing higher education risks in a wider context Alongside our risk register analysis, we’re publishing our companion briefing which examines and contrasts the UK higher education sector’s perspective on strategic risks with that of a wide swathe of European businesses. This draws upon the insight from the 2025 European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditing (ECIIA) survey. Notable amongst the escalating strategic risks highlighted by businesses this year are risks from AI and digital disruption and security risks such as supply disruption, intellectual property theft, and hostile cyberattacks. It’s notable that these strategic risks tend not to feature prominently on higher education institutional risk registers, and this should be further food for thought for audit committees. If you’re interested in learning more about our risk insight activities or our audit and assurance services please get in touch. Helen Thorne Senior Audit and Assurance Consultant
