Course Introduction
The continuing globalisation of business operations creates additional challenges for organizations, particularly those who operate across geographical boundaries.
This masterclass provides valuable insight into the nature of organizational culture and ethical behaviour in organizations. The subject matter covered is highly popular, due in part to the increasing focus on both elements from regulators, the media, external business partners and customers.
Providing assurance over culture and ethics is a challenging area for modern internal audit functions, both in terms of what is to be audited and how value can be added to the organization. Internal auditors working in this area require a fresh perspective and approach.
In particular this masterclass assesses the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies that internal auditors should possess to audit culture and ethics.
Internal auditors need to develop a more qualitative approach, making use of tools such as interviews and surveys, as well as utilising more traditional approaches with their existing core skills.
This masterclass examines a range of approaches that internal audit functions may adopt when auditing in this challenging environment.

- Get the timing right.
Many people are afraid to request for training budget, because they can’t seem to find the “perfect time” to do it. Well, there’s no perfect time to ask for it, but there are definitely some moments that are better than others. For instance, if your boss is about to take a two week vacation, he/she might be in a good mood. If he/she just lost a major account, may not be wise at that juncture. - Make a case for yourself
When you ask for budget, you should be prepared with specific details and explanations about what is in it for the company and you’re superior. If you go into a meeting and just say, “I want to get budget for a conference,” it’s likely that your request won’t be taken seriously. If you want to plan ahead, then you should be prepared to explain the following points:
1. Start by stating your accomplishments
2. Show that you’re ready for more responsibility and eager to learn
3. Describe:
a) How this event will increase your productivity?
b) How you will need less supervision
c) How you can bring back the knowledge to the company
4. Follow up
