Internal Audit New Joiner Training: Operational Audit Toolset

– Audit Methods Toolkit for Examining the Three Components of the Internal Oversight System –

Description:

Internal audit is increasingly becoming a critical component of corporate governance. The increased focus on internal audit comes with increased stakeholder expectations. For management and the board to rely on the results of internal audit, they need to be robust. This can be achieved by focusing on the relevant issues and using the right methodologies.

The first part of this audit training is a deep dive into understanding the Internal Oversight System according to the G20 Risk Atlas, divided into the Internal Control System (ICS), the Risk Management System (RMS) and the Governance System (GS).

Participants will learn to apply various internationally recognised methodologies along the audit review process. The focus is on assessing the audit objective, the organisation’s processes and the associated roles, competencies, responsibilities, controls and communication channels. Ina risk-oriented and process-independent manner, Internal Audit examines the existing internal control system and assesses its effectiveness for corporate governance.

The auditors identify process points where there is a risk of negative deviation (risk).They assess whether management is adequately addressing the risks, for example by implementing risk-mitigating controls.

Participants will also receive practical tips and guidance for implementation in operational audit practice. The audit training is rounded off by a discussion of typical challenges in audit situations and how to deal with the auditee.

By the end of the course, participants will be familiar with the relevant international and national requirements for internal audit and be able to put the minto practice. They will understand and be able to assess the elements of the internal control system. This training ensures basic practical skills.
