Prerequisites
Basic auditing experience.
This five day seminar provides practical and valuable guidance on risk
based operational auditing and leading edge techniques in auditing. It teaches
participants how to identify and prioritise the risks and assess the
efficiency, effectiveness & economics of both core and non core business
processes providing practical exercises to help delegates gain confidence in
the techniques presented and in their own ability to use them. Auditing non
core activities often proves more difficult to audit because the associated
risks to business objectives are often less well known and are new territory
for the business as well as for the internal auditors. Joint ventures, major
contracts and projects and outsourced operations are all explored in detail to
provide delegates with insights from practical experience on where the
efficiency, effectiveness and economics might not be realised as well as
highlighting key areas to focus on to ensure that key risks are being
appropriately managed. Delegates are provided with the opportunity to practice
facilitating risk identification workshops and to review the challenges for
Internal Audit in its approach to and involvement with risk management and the
role internal audit can play in facilitating risk management within their
organisations. Participants will learn the benefits that risk based auditing
can have in focusingauditing effort on the key risks that threaten the
achievement of business objectives and how to reflect and prioritise risk in
their audit reports. Both aspects of risk, threats and opportunities, are
covered. Through participating in discussions and case studies of real life
examples delegates will gain the knowledge and confidence to use the latest
risk based auditing techniques to audit both the core business processes
together with some of the often more demanding activities of major contracts
and projects, joint venture companies and outsourced operations.
