Why You Should AttendThis course covers everything you need to know as a newcomer to Internal Audit regarding the most effective audit practices.
There has probably never been a more important or interesting time to be an Internal Auditor. The function has changed significantly from the basic compliance and checking function it used to be.
People are joining Internal Audit from a variety of backgrounds and the function is becoming much more operationally rather than financially based.
Internal audit should be vibrant and exciting, adding real value to the organisation and being recognised as a catalyst for change and a business partner.
If you have staff who are new to Internal Audit you will want them to learn the best audit practices and be able to apply them efficiently.
The course will introduce you to the worldwide best practice and how to apply it.
Maybe you have auditors who are returning to the function, or staff who are to be seconded to you for a period of time? You will want them to learn about the changing role of the audit function.
Perhaps you work in a line function with responsibility for providing assurance to the Board and need a fuller understanding of the Internal Audit role.

Why You Should AttendThe Institute of Internal Auditors in a professional guidance statement stated the following: 'Internal Audit are being asked to provide much greater assurance to senior management than ever before. The Institute believes that the only way to provide such objective assurance is by means of risk based auditing'.
Audit functions that are able to focus their efforts towards the significant risk in their organisations are able to concentrate their limited resources on the issues which drive business goals and aspirations. In consequence audit plans are directed at the issues, which really matter. This course provides all the latest developments. The 2014 course features a case study on the step-by-step approach to a risk based audit.
Furthermore,aparticipativeapproachwherebyauditorsandmanagers work together to identify, assess and control business risks significantly enhances the level of assurance and reduces the chances of nasty surprises – a huge benefit in these more difficult times.
