Operational Auditing: An Introduction October 16, 2008

Summary:

Internal auditors have the ability to evaluate controls and influence organizational units well beyond the financial reporting and compliance worlds. This seminar will get you started in reviewing those areas of your organization where the business actually gets done - operations!

Whether or not you have operational experience, by understanding the role of management and basic internal control concepts, you can evaluate and improve the risk management and control processes in the operational areas of your organization.

Operational auditing is not consulting, but the skills in this course can help auditors improve processes and position organizations better achieve their objectives.

This is an introductory operational auditing course, that also reviews basic auditing and control concepts.
