Overview:
This advanced Internal Audit course is designed for senior auditors, Audit Managers and Directors and Chief Audit Executives. During the four sessions we will focus on softer management areas and creative ways to enhance audit's image.
Becoming a trusted advisor is a goal for senior auditors but also is important for anyone wishing to influence an organization.
Session one will share examples of those skills required to achieve such a designation.
Session 2 and Session 3 focus on auditing an organization's culture and risk governance. These are areas that require added focus given stakeholder concerns over both areas.
Session 4 presents a new way to examine processes, products or function in a non-threatening but valuable way.
The CEM tool is one way for individuals to report on the effectiveness and comparative status to senior management and promote meaningful discussions as well as process changes.
Why you should Attend:
This Internal Audit Leadership Certification is a great addition to the education of today and tomorrow's leaders in Internal Audit. The four sessions are all focused on those areas in audit that typically are reserved for the more senior staff members and audit managers/Directors. These are especially valuable for those audit teams evolving to more risk based audit focus and for those that desire a more consultative audit approach.
Given the recent pandemic and the necessary changes in operations this requires it is imperative that auditors be prepared to add value. These sessions will assist in preparing the audit staff in areas that will drive the emergence from the pandemic and the move back to normalcy.
Certifications provide our clients with a sense of comfort that the audit team is educated in risk management and process areas that are important to our clients and our organizations.
