“Internal Audit is being asked to provide much greater assurance to Senior Management than ever before…the only way to provide such objective assurance is by means of risk based auditing”

How will you benefit?

Internal Audit is being asked to provide much greater assurance to Senior Management than ever before. The only way to provide such objective assurance is by means of an effective risk based auditing framework.

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 advanced training will assist delegates to take a participative approach towards identifying, assessing and controlling business risks significantly, reducing the chances of negative surprises and enhancing the level of assurance.
