“A must for organizations that want to improve and modernize their approach to internal auditing.”
                         -Carolyn Fay, Staff Auditor, Reader’s Digest Association

To meet the challenges of the 21st century it is necessary for Internal Audit to retool and closely align itself with the business issues confronting today’s organizations. A logical audit presence driven by data coupled with continuous/continual and virtual audit is a practical strategy for achieving this goal.

In this three-day seminar you will learn how to effectively use data as the driver for multiple audit functionalities, from risk assessment to highly effective visual-based audit reports. You will learn which data to mine to minimize audit resources and maximize audit and business outcomes by delivering business-focused recommendations that will bring about constructive change. In addition, you will learn how to create and use progressive system- centric/data-centric audit tools and oversight strategies and techniques for performing continuous auditing that will enable your organization to be best-in-class in today’s global competitive market place.

You are encouraged to bring a laptop to perform a number of hands-on exercises involving data and how it should be applied to your organization.
