Objectifs

Internal audit is performed in several sectors, both private and public. It may be performed by internal audit professionals, both within and outside the organisation. Internal audit is an independent and objective activity that provides an organisation with assurance about the state of control of its operations, provides advice on how to improve them, and helps add value. It helps an organisation to achieve its objectives by assessing, through a systematic and disciplined approach, its risk management, control, and corporate governance processes and making proposals to improve their effectiveness. Internal audit also enables international organisations to verify that the various entities are in line with the group's strategy.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • have a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the internal audit function;
  • have a refresh of the applicable international standards for the professional practice of internal auditing;
