Risk Based Internal Audit Sustainable Management Group
Price: TBA
  • Duration: 2 Days

Course details

The COSO – ERM Internal Control System is the most modern framework to approach and assess the companies’ risks, and its adoption is a major challenge as the companies’ risk profile is always evolving.

In addition, the way in audit approach has changed dramatically the last decade so that instead of auditing processes and systems, great emphasis is given in risk – based auditing approaches. To be in tune with, internal auditors should adopt a risk-based engagement. Another reason for risk-based audit is the fact that companies rarely have excess audit capacity so available recourses should be used effectively and efficiently.

During the seminar, by participating in case studies and group discussions all participants will understand how to assess systematically all types of risks by using a globally accepted practice, while they will realize their role in risk assessment process, they will explore control self-assessment techniques and will learn how to organize and execute risk based auditing. At the end of the seminar participants will get a good understanding on audit process that is used currently by the world class internal audit units and will understand how to execute effectively risk–based audits.
