Auditing PLUS

What does senior management expect from the internal auditor today? What does the profession require of the internal auditor today?

The answer: "Auditing" PLUS!

The expectations of both executive management and the profession today require internal auditors to provide more varied and management focused services - going beyond "just auditing." These expectations do not necessarily translate into "doing more work," but instead focus on "doing it differently."

The changes taking place in the profession today are significant and quite varied. The central point of this seminar will be on the expectations for the profession today and include discussions on:

• Auditing Services possible
• Marketing Internal Auditing Services
• Focusing on the single most important factor first - THE Customer
• Understanding the business
• Thinking like management
• Evaluating Executive Management
• Auditing the "Soft Side" of the business
• Control/Risk Self Assessment opportunities

Today emphasis is also being placed upon developing and making available to management valuable consulting practices. In addition to discussing the consulting requirements as outlined in the revised Standards, important related skill sets will be reviewed, including:

• Good interviewing skills and techniques
• Listening skills
• "Reading" non-verbal cues (body language)

These and other discussions will be presented during the seminar with a focus on "Auditing" PLUS.
