MIS Training Institute's CAE Master's Program brings together a select group of high level audit executives from some of the most innovative domestic and international companies for an intensive, three-day retreat at the MIT Endicott House in Dedham, Massachusetts, located just 30 minutes outside of Boston.

The program focuses on teaching practical business and management applications. In this unique setting, you will create a plan to position yourself as a strategic and valued business partner of the future.

This executive education program has been developed for three specific reasons:

1. To bring together experienced audit leaders to share and learn from each other.
2. To provide a program, taught by top faculty, that blends both practice and theory.
3. To offer this high-quality program in an intimate setting and format that fits your busy schedule.

The focus is on strengthening your audit leadership acumen. The sessions are rigorous. In short, we bring you the best, at a time when you need it, in a way that fits both your schedule and budget.

The Format
The goal behind the instructional methods of the CAE Master's Program is to focus on real-world business models and problems in order to engage peer-to-peer interaction and problem solving. During the three-day program, you will be involved in roundtable discussions, case studies, and guest lectures that tackle the strategic challenges facing experienced audit leaders.

Program Faculty
You will participate in hands-on learning sessions led by experienced professionals with an in-depth understanding of the challenges you face – and how to address them. You will hear from guest speakers who will share the practical approaches they use to build strong internal audit departments.
