The Internal Audit Leadership Training Course from the Imperial Corporate Training Institute is designed to support the development of strong leaders in the field of internal auditing while maintaining a strong focus on professional auditing standards and governance. The course does not only focus on traditional, technical auditing skills but instead creates a strong focus on developing skills related to leading people, strategic thinking, ethical decision-making and effective communication. The course will assist internal auditors to be leaders of audit teams and to influence the actions of senior leaders in their organisations so internet auditors can provide tangible value in their organisations’ decision-making.
Internal auditors are expected today to do more than just identify risks; they are also expected to help guide their organisations through uncertainty associated with changes in regulations and to guide their organisations through substantial operational changes. The training course will help participants gain an understanding of the principles of the different leadership-based internal audit frameworks; the different approaches to risk-based audit planning; stakeholder management and performance-based audit strategies will assist the participants in their transition from technical auditors to business leaders who are trusted within their organisations.
