Advanced Integrated Core Tools Auditing

Course Description

In this 1 day advanced course for internal auditors we focus on the improvement of both effectiveness and efficiency in auditing core tools. For this course it is assumed you have a basic understanding of core tools and some experience auditing, because this will focus on the interconnectedness of the tools and their application in creating meaningful audits in a short amount of time. This is a deep dive, fast paced, application course that operates at a level above mere familiarization with the core tools. This course is the perfect fit for:

• Auditors that have been auditing a while, want to improve but are not sure how
• Auditors that have been auditing, but the audits have been failing to produce meaningful results
• Auditors that are responsible for other auditors in their organization that want to see a performance improvement
• Auditors that would like a refresher with a focus on application rather than academics

To accomplish this we have stripped away the basics and focus on the connections and the interactions

• Focusing on INTEGRATION, not ISOLATION so that you can audit faster and more effectively
• Giving you proven PRIORITIZATION strategies so that you know you are following trails of value
• Exploring higher level constructs to increase efficiency of the core tools audits

It is encouraged that you have a basics core tools understanding, as this is an advanced technique level course.
