Course Description

As new ways of doing business emerge and organizations are digitally transformed, internal auditors update their strategies alongside these new frameworks and technologies. Some of the new technologies can directly benefit auditors and increase the effectiveness of internal controls. We also know that data and technology risks are a growing concern in the auditing sphere, but to combat this, we can maximize our knowledge base and use these tools to our advantage. Some audits are routine, and others are a response to interruptions and concerns that develop during the course of running the business.

In this Auditing for Emerging Business Needs course, you’ll learn about how executives and internal auditors maintain their understanding of new business frameworks, standards, and technologies.

This can ensure that cash accounts are managed and reviewed appropriately, and that projects are estimated accurately.
