In today’s evolving business world, companies no longer rely solely on external audits to manage their organisations and instead aim to be involved in every aspect of their internal operations. Compliance audits are performed by internal auditors who ensure adherence to guidelines, minimise risks and safeguard the integrity of business operations. This course provides you with the training and key competencies required to perform an internal compliance auditor's role. We cover the best practices and outline practical insights used to conduct compliance audits.

We begin by examining the five-tier competency model that auditors require. We explain the three change categories and explore the three behavioural stages of change management. We outline various auditing techniques, such as critical linkage and funnelling, and explain how to apply them with flair and confidence. The course shows you how to use risk categories effectively to set priorities and make it easier to assess and control risks consistently.

We then examine various testing and sampling techniques used to ensure that well-designed controls work as intended. We go through the four-step approach to writing effective audit reports. Finally, we identify the competencies you need as an auditor and provide techniques for managing relationships with project owners. This course is self-paced, has no prerequisites and is essential for auditors or anyone interested in compliance auditing. This course adds a valuable new skill to your portfolio that also benefits your organisation. Sign up to acquire internal compliance auditing training.
