Description
The agile internal audit methodology and application course seeks to provide sustainable insights on how modern internal audit departments can effectively apply agility and lean management concepts in their daily audit projects. Agile Internal Audit has been touted to be a mindset that an Internal Audit function adopts to focus on real stakeholder needs, expedite internal audit projects, provide timely insights, reduce project costs and efforts, and maximize team and corporate resources.
This course has been designed in a simple-to-understand and yet very practical way to ensure that even beginners would easily understand the agile concept and apply it in their upcoming audit projects. The course has also leveraged the extensive consulting and in-house experience of the trainer to offer practical insights to Chief Audit Executives and Senior Internal Audit Team Members on how they can navigate this 'new' concept and be able to share their knowledge with the rest of the audit team members.
Many progressive internal audit teams have provided encouraging feedback on how their teams have managed to create better working relationships among the audit staff, and also with process owners and management, through the collaborative approach recommended in the agile methodology. Teams have also experienced credible returns on investment through timely execution of projects, insightful business recommendations, less friction with process owners, and supporting management in the timely implementation of internal audit recommendations.
Who this course is for:
- Both experienced and beginner internal auditors
- Internal audit leaders with a desire to adopt and implement agile methodology in their practice
- Experienced internal auditors who want to optimise internal audit value in the organisation
- Internal audit trainers who require fundamental knowledge of lean concepts and agile internal audit methodology
