The Imperial Corporate Training Institute offers a Training Course Network that focuses on giving people an introduction to what an audit is and its relevance in business based on a different career path than a typical accountant , finance or accountant manager. As businesses have moved towards more of an operational/HR/Procurement/Marketing/Engineering/ Project Manager structure, all of the management in these areas now have to communicate with Auditors , review Audit Reports and thus have had to be aware of the organisation they work within. This is where this training is essential to non-financial managers by providing them with information in a manner non-financial managers can understand Audits and understand why Audits exist and how the results an Audit provides impacts their daily decisions.
This financial audit training course bridges the gap between the technical processes of an Audit & the responsibilities of managers in the real world. Participants will gain an understanding of the entire audit life cycle including Internal Control, Risk Based Auditing and how to interpret Audit Findings without being confused or lost in the accounting perspective of the Audit Process. By Teaching through Practical Examples (Photo examples), Participants will have confidence to communicate effectively with their organisation’s audit team and provide additional support prior to and following an audit; plus, effectively responding to audit findings and resulting recommendations. Ultimately, Participants will become more accountable and improve the organisation’s overall performance.
