Small Audit Functions: Smart Ideas

Overview

• An inconvenient truth: the typical internal audit department is small – averaging less than 5 internal auditors.
• Focus on the advantages of “small is often beautiful.”
• Team members of small audit functions can quickly develop a broad range of experience and knowledge simply because less staff means the staff on hand see and touch it all.
• In that same sense, organisational layers tend to be less and those actually working on the audit are often in charge and/or working with management directly.
• Being close to the action – on all sides – has benefits of its own. 

This training course will cover:

• Creating Smart Strategies for Small Functions.
• Fast and nimble implementation.
• Focusing on key areas, risks and controls.
• Using external sources of information.
