Description
Good internal audit management is the key to the success or failure of this function. The challenges faced by the Audit Director, whether from a pre-existing role or from a new one, are to meet the audit committee's expectations to provide complete and comprehensive assurance of the organization, on the one hand.
And, on the other hand, establish an adequate relationship with management so that the Internal Audit is perceived as a value-added gear, whose diagnoses can be reliable, and whose recommendations are based on good intention and are made with wisdom and professionalism.
In this course we will examine the International Standards for The Professional Practice of Internal Audit with the proper administration of internal audit, and also explore the best practices for the administration of internal audit.
All this based on the experience of an instructor who led three Internal Audit units, and obtained several international adequacy certifications. Mainly the CIA - Certified Internal Auditor, but also the QAR - Quality Assurance Reviewer, both issued by the IIA.
This course is of great value to those facing the challenge of leading an Internal Audit unit that seeks to respond to the diverse and complex challenges presented by today's business world, both in the private and public spheres, and, also, in non-profit organizations.
Who Should Attend!
- This course is designed for new or current Chief Audit Executives, and members of the Audit Committee to whom the Internal Audit function reports
