Internal & External Lead Auditor

Course Overview

Is your internal audit and assurance process delivering value? Does your organisation learn and improve following audits?

Audits and internal assurance programs often miss the mark – focusing too much on low-priority, low-value activities and chasing paperwork.

The course introduces the Audit Maturity Model, enabling participants to identify where their present audit program sits and identify ways to improve. There is a time and a place for most audit types, and this course highlights the importance of context and matching the approach accordingly. Contemporary audit principles are introduced to guide the auditors’ approach, highlighting the importance of humility, curiosity and learning in the audit process.

Participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to improve their organisation’s audit program and shift towards greater learning and improvement. Our experienced trainers will guide you through practical exercises and real-world scenarios to ensure you are prepared to improve your organisation’s processes and approach to auditing.
