New! Critical Thinking for Internal Auditors (IIA/Deloitte)

Develop your critical thinking skills to apply to daily audit activities.
Field of Study: Auditing US $1,645 IIA Members US $1,945 Nonmembers Call for onsite or virtual pricing.
In the past few years, many internal audit departments have been focused on Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, so auditors may not have had consistent opportunities to learn and apply critical thinking concepts to planning and executing an audit, to being alert to negative indicators during an audit, and to judging the significance of issues and how to report them. Other auditors may simply want to refresh their skills. This interactive two-day course will help you further develop or refresh familiar concepts of critical thinking, professional skepticism, and professional judgment, and apply these concepts to various stages of an audit – from preparation and planning, to assessing and testing, to communicating and reporting.
2012 Offerings New York, NY / May 17 – 18
This course is taught by Deloitte professionals with practical experience. The facilitators will use a variety of learning methods, including lecture, presentation, class discussion, interactive exercises, video scenarios, and participant teach-backs to enhance the learning experience and provide a variety of opportunities for the participants to practice applying and challenging the concepts.
Dallas, TX / Oct. 4 – 5
Your opportunity to: • Refine audit planning and thinking skills in the post-Sarbanes-Oxley world, where professional judgment about what, how, and when to audit is critical.
“The case analyses and practical application exercises were positive. Superiors at my job have talked about critical thinking, but haven’t had the time to ‘hold my hand’ or walk through this type of development. Having someone walk me through exercises while teaching and discussing proved to be beneficial.”
• Practice and apply critical thinking, professional skepticism, and professional judgment skills needed in today’s internal audit environment. • Revisit familiar concepts around general auditing to further broaden your overall critical thinking and approach to an audit.
