All internal auditors holding a certification from The Institute of Internal Auditors are required to earn two Continuing Professional Education credits each year through ethics-related activities or training.

This interactive course is designed to meet that requirement by placing participants in realistic and often ambiguous ethical situations and sharing real-life examples encountered by internal auditors.

The instructor, Adrian Resag, has worked as an internal auditor and Head of Internal Audit across several industries and organisations. He shares practical experience of ethical challenges faced in internal audit and the difficulties involved in making sound professional decisions.

The course is delivered as live online training and combines practical scenarios, guided discussion, participant interaction, and professional reflection.

Course materials and a certificate of completion are provided.
