The Audit Course is designed to provide a practical view in conducting audit and
assurance within an organization. It aims to support professional staff in expanding
their understanding of comprehensive audit practices.
The course presents a more in-depth view on the fundamentals of auditing by
highlighting topics such as audit and control analysis, examination of control
evidence, application control, and audit management. The course will include
discussion and exercises related to general control examinations within the
scope of auditing and will also focus on control research and analysis for
relevant topic areas.
Through discussions and exercises, participants will gain a working understanding
of the process of developing audit work programs. Participants will be expected
to learn how to identify, reference, and implement audit practice management and
control policies, standards, and related auditing standards. The objective is to
enable participants to interpret and apply these standards effectively within their
audit processes.
Each class session will include discussions on practical audit management,
security, control, or audit issues that participants need to be familiar with.
