This training kicks off with a review of Internal Auditing fundamentals, including reviewing the roles and responsibilities of the entire Internal Audit department staff and the standards and guidance of Internal Auditing. The course is designed to facilitate discussion and dialogue while debating challenges, ideas, and strategies to take your IA department to the next level and achieve excellence in fulfilling your mission. We will focus on strategy development and the importance of alignment as we navigate through the challenges, threats and opportunities in an ever-changing environment. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the IA department and how it adds value to the organization. We will work on clarifying IA’s purpose, brand, identity, mission and vision to assist participants in the creation of a tailored strategic road map.

Following the discussion of strategy development, participants will shift focus to strategy translation and execution. We will examine the importance of alignment and explore helpful and necessary tools to help build an action plan that leads to a more outstanding internal audit department. The goal of the personal, tailored action plan is to help participants assess where they are now, where they want/need to go, and map out a plan to get there. 

Over three days we will review and explore: ​

  • Getting executive leadership, the board and the audit committee on the same page

  • Audit planning and developing a business case mapped to an ROI

  • Insights from Six Sigma, Lean, Agile, Scrum, and other areas to enhance IA

  • Best practices from our personal experience and brainstorm new ideas

  • Sample audit plans and programs

  • Interactive exercises that help us think outside the box

  • COSO changes and risk management 

  • The components of strategy development, translation and execution

  • Internal audit, roles, responsibilities, standards, guidance and best practices

  • Audit fundamentals, major trends and significant changes in the industry ​

Methodology: The training will be conducted in a facilitative style that fosters discussion, interaction, brainstorming, and the free exchange of ideas. Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences with the group and learn from others. We will be reviewing best practices, lessons learned, case studies, and conduct exercises that encourage us to learn through discovery and working through problems in the moment.
