Developing Effective and Efficient Audit Programs

Financial audits generally have a clearly defined set of audit objectives and audit scope while performance audits generally do not. For each audit, the audit organization must determine the appropriate scope and objectives. That requires analysis of what is needed and the most effective approach to meet that need. This course addresses the three essentials of audit planning: doing the right thing, doing it right and documenting the process. 

The course covers the following topics:

·        Do the right thing

o       What do we (or the customers) need?

o       How can we obtain that result quickly, cheaply and with acceptable quality?

·        Issues to consider for each audit

·        Required steps for all audits

·        Risk assessment

·        Considering fraud as one of the risks

·        The planning process
