3 Days Workshop

The Integrated  Internal Audit Approach 2010

Jakarta |  July 14-16th, 2010 | Rp 3.950.000,-

The Internal audit Approach combines elements of the traditional audits areas of Financial, Operational, and Information Technology (IT) with a strong flavour of consulting added to that mix.

This approach permits the audit team to render an opinion about an entire system of internal control.

Using this approach the audit team can perform one audit of a business function and produce one report that incorporates control concerns of a financial, operational and IT nature.

Using an integrated audit approach differs from traditional audit methodologies by incorporating in one audit the evaluation and testing of financial, operational and IT control procedures.

In addition to the financial and operational aspects of an audit this approach incorporates the typical IT concerns of data access controls, online editing, file to file updates, master file uploads, program change control, system backup and recovery, internal system calculations, computer program procedures that affect controls, and computer generated transactions.  This approach permits the audit team to evaluate and test the full range of controls within the context of an integrated audit in order to obtain a picture of the entire control environment.

Using case exercises, you will examine the critical elements of internal auditing: assessing risk, flowcharting, designing flexibility into the audit program, performing the audit and applying audit results to solve the business problem.

You will focus on and put into practice the communications skills associated with internal auditing: conferencing with auditees, writing audit findings and selling audit recommendations.
