SUMMARY:Performing an Effective Quality Assessment Course
DESCRIPTION:A hallmark of a quality internal audit function is the ability to keep pace in a dynamic environment. Consistently monitoring the quality of the internal audit function provides audit leaders\, the board\, and other key stakeholders with the assurance that internal audit is performing at its highest level — providing value throughout an evolving organisation. \nThis performing an effective quality assessment course will provide you with the appropriate knowledge and skills to plan\, perform\, and evaluate the results of an external quality assessment case study. You will also learn about the process and templates in The IIA’s Quality Assessment (QA) Manual — based on the newly published Global Internal Audit Standards — so that you can identify opportunities to improve your internal audit function’s quality activities. \n⚠️ Important Note: This course uses the newly published QA Manual based on the Global Internal Audit Standards™.
