Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that affect the internal auditors' readiness for ongoing digital transformation. The questionnaire was designed and distributed to a total of 350 internal auditors who are the member of the Institute of Internal Auditors of Thailand (IIAT). Using multiple regression analysis, the findings indicate that factors relating to know-how including IT-based knowledge, cognition, and competency positively influence the internal auditors' readiness for digital transformation. A positive attitude and a willingness to accept change on the part of internal auditors are also essential factors affecting their readiness. Moreover, support from organisations, including professional organisations, are key factors creating a positive working environment to drive the competency of the internal auditors to adapt themselves to cope with the advancement of technology.
