Course Description:

Increasing demands on the audit profession by regulators, industry watchdogs and the IIA itself begs for new approaches and enhanced risk perspectives. BASEL requirements and COSO directives support even more risk based auditing activity while senior management expects auditors to not only understand risk and controls but to actively contribute in that same space as other risk experts.

This course will introduce participants to the first agile risk based audit approach available. Agility plus 10.1 (APT) is designed to ensure that while adhering to the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors, audit teams can be flexible and risk focused. The days of traditional audit practices are behind us and those firms that do not learn to be more adept in audits risk becoming irrelevant. This course will help auditors and audit teams remain relevant to their organizations.

The key topics that will be covered in this two-day workshop include:

  • Audit universe design
  • The three tiered risk assessment methodology
  • Retro cycling and how to ensure three year audit coverage of all audit areas
  • Taking advantage of data analytics beyond sample selection
  • Risk based reporting for audit committees and senior management
  • Using risk perspectives to create a meaningful audit issue
  • Leveraging the consulting aspects of audit to remain relevant
  • Tips for educating the client on your new audit approach

The seminar has been structured with several beneficial components, such as:

  • Tools that help establish a risk based audit process without the need for new software or dramatic changes to existing audit practices.
  • Practical application of risk based auditing techniques impacting auditable entity design; tiered risk assessments, comprehensive continuous risk monitoring and examples of annual risk based reporting processes.
  • Demonstration of how risk based auditing practices actually helps develop auditors for leadership positions in audit or the line.
  • Mini workshops that demonstrate how to implement, sell and gain immediate value in risk based auditing.


Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how to complete a risk assessment on businesses you may know nothing about.
  • Learn about the tiered risk assessment methodology that finally links risks of parent companies to subsidiaries and vice versa.
  • Learn about retro cycling so you can ensure long term audit coverage and still be flexible enough to react to emerging risks.
  • Explore new techniques in writing audit findings and audit reports that will focus on root causes and generate actionable issues for management to respond to with solutions that actually resolve the issue.
  • Learn how the APT audit process develops auditors faster than normal audit processes and how to leverage your new found leadership skills within your audit group and business.

Camelback Mountain draws thousands of visitors with its sheer red sandstone cliffs and its telltale hump.
