Description:

In a fast-paced audit environment, achieving transparency, collaboration, and strategic oversight is paramount.

Drawing from best practices in agile and lean methodologies, this course will empower audit leaders to oversee complex audit projects with greater clarity, improve communication between audit teams and senior management, and enhance the overall audit process through real-time insights.
