The survey included 412 respondents sourced from a leading global online panel provider. They were selected from the panel based on geographic and role-based quotas, as well as screening questions based on role in audit and compliance, decision-making role, company size, and how long they have been in their audit role. All participants were Audit, GRC, or IT decision-makers and purchase influencers working at companies with annual revenue of at least $100 million USD. Selected respondents were further screened based on selfreported audit and compliance knowledge and attentiveness to survey questions.
