Internal Audit 101: Introduction to Internal Auditing Training Course
Internal audits are an important requirement for effective corporate governance. The internal auditor is at the front line in evaluating management's internal control, assessing the accuracy of financial information, and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. Learn how to perform these important duties and comply with the professional auditing standards.
"Internal Audit 101" is the perfect CPE course to introduce internal auditing to someone new to the field or to someone who has not had formal training. This course provides an overview of the "audit life cycle", including audit planning and risk assessment, conducting fieldwork, interviews, walkthroughs and tests of controls, and audit reporting and follow-up. We provide the latest guidance for a risk-based, top-down audit approach, key audit terminology, audit workpaper documentation, and "selling" the benefits of the audit.
Designed for internal auditors who are new or have limited experience in the audit profession, this seminar will walk the participants through the basics of being an internal auditor. It is ideal for auditors who want to ensure that they follow approved, prescribed audit standards and apply the appropriate audit tools and techniques.
This timely, one-day CPE training seminar is designed for the new internal auditor and others who have to create an effective audit plan, perform the audits, generate workpapers, and effectively communicate the results.

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.
Internal auditing is a catalyst for improving an organization's governance, risk management and management controls by providing insight and recommendations based on analyses and assessments of data and business processes. With commitment to integrity and accountability, internal auditing provides value to governing bodies and senior management as an objective source of independent advice.
Professionals called internal auditors are employed by organizations to perform the internal auditing activity.
