Advisory Services in Internal Audit: From Assurance to Strategic Partner

Arbeitstechnik - Grundstufe

Beschreibung

Internal audit is not limited to assurance services. Through effective advisory engagements, it can move from being only an assurance provider to becoming a trusted strategic partner that brings insight, supports better decisions and adds significant value to the organisation. This practical half-day programme explains what qualifies as an advisory engagement, where it adds the most value and how to provide advice without assuming management responsibility or compromising objectivity. Participants will learn how to plan, perform and communicate advisory engagement results in line with the Global Internal Audit Standards, while strengthening the relevance and reputation of the internal audit function.
