This Mini-MBA course in Effective Risk-Based Internal Auditing is designed to help professionals understand the processes, tools and techniques required to develop and implement internal audit plans and execute audits that are aligned with risk-based approaches. It provides a practical understanding of internal audit strategy, risk frameworks, and assurance methodologies needed in today’s complex regulatory and business environments.
This course is designed to explore the methods and techniques for developing internal audit plans, conducting risk-based internal audits (RBIA), and providing recommendations for corrective action and improvements. Students learn to develop process audit skills and write effective audit reports that improve long-term results for the company. The primary focus is on how RBIA requires internal audits to be strategically and operationally linked to the business risk and assurance frameworks.
Our goal is to provide a highly interactive, progressive and hands-on professional development environment where participants discuss and address how internal audits add value by providing assurances that the risk management framework, processes, controls and outcomes are maximized.
We will do this by bringing forth various issues that impact the effectiveness and maturity of risk management within the organization in order to determine how internal auditors approach their planning and assignments.
After completing this course, participants will be able to effectively conduct internal audits, prepare audit reports, and assess risk using industry best practices and globally recognized auditing frameworks.
Auditors, IA Managers, Project and Contract Managers, HR Managers, Field Managers, Operation Supervisors, Regulators, Key Technical Staff, and others needing a broader understanding of the finance and the auditing process.
