Overview:

The "name of the game" in virtually any business (or profession), and most certainly for Internal Auditors, is adding the greatest possible value to and for all stakeholders of that business/profession. Internal Auditors serve a wide variety of stakeholders who place major reliance on their work. Maximizing IA value in terms of assurance levels expected by and relied on by its stakeholders is critical and can only be achieved through optimal assurance coverage execution and highly effective stakeholder communications and reporting. By exploring the many roles and services through which an internal audit group can add value throughout any organization, this course provides a roadmap for Internal Auditors in their quests to maximize value for all stakeholders, both internal and external, of their organizations.

Objectives:

Gain greater appreciation of an Internal Auditor’s varying and extensive value-adding impact and roles
Enhance knowledge of significant SOX-related impact and requirements placed on the auditing profession
Clarify the major roles and responsibilities of Internal Auditors from a primary coverage perspective as related to key organizational controls/objectives
Identify opportunities for maximizing IA value from a multi-stakeholder assurance and reliance coverage perspective

Major Topics:

IAs’ unique and vital value-adding propositions
SOX (Sarbanes Oxley Act) impact on the (Internal and External) auditing profession
Key IA assurance coverage roles and responsibilities regarding:

Achieving excellence in stakeholder servicing and value adding
