This course is intended for professionals who lead or supervise internal audit engagements. It covers the mandatory requirements and best practices needed to deliver audit results successfully and build a strong internal audit team.

 

Internal audit requires a systematic and disciplined approach. Participants will learn how to establish the necessary controls over the audit process, ensure that audit results are properly delivered, and manage a team that maintains the ethical reputation of the internal audit function while adding value to the organisation.

 

The course follows recognised best practices and the mandatory requirements of the Global Internal Audit Standards.

 

The instructor, Adrian Resag, has managed global teams as a Chief Audit Executive and shares practical insights on how to lead, supervise, and deliver internal audit engagements effectively.

 

The course is delivered as live online training and combines clear explanations, real-world examples, guided discussion, and practical exercises. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, explore professional challenges, and develop skills they can apply directly in their work.

 

Course materials and a certificate of completion are provided.
