Overview
The last year has seen even more internal auditors and review teams adapt to the realities of working remotely. We have had to conduct business-critical internal audit engagements and reviews while working away from our desks, distant from our clients and from our management.
These engagements may have been part of the annual or periodic plan, but may still be so important that even in the current pandemic, you must successfully deliver them. They could also be new assurance or consultancy engagements thatthe pandemic has prompted. In either case, carrying them out remotely imposes new ways of working – and thinking.
Three essential elements – communication skills, internal auditing tools and our core internal auditing principles – are little different from what you are used to undertaking. It’s all about adjusting them to work when conducting an engagement remotely. In an uncertain and challenging environment, organisations expect internal audit to go beyond reviewing historical activity and assessing low value transactions.
Our key stakeholders require internal audit engagements that are insightful, forward looking, and go beyond simply preserving value to creating value for the organisations.
This course will show you how to provide effective, professional insight and internal audit assurance while working remotely, enabling you to deliver engagements, deliver the plan and deliver the insight our boards need.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for chief audit executives, internal audit managers, senior internal auditors and internal auditors involved in planning and delivering assurance on governance, risk management and control in the current pandemic. It is also relevant to other review teams.
It is particularly relevant for internal auditors at all levels who want to add greater value and deliver enhanced insight through their remote fieldwork, testing and assurance engagements. Finally, this course will be of real benefit to those internal auditors who want to deliver the best possible, reliable, robust and insightful internal audit work they can while remote working.

FAQ
The client has the right to cancel his/her registration in the event.
There is a 50% liability on all conference registrations once made, whether the booking was made through our website or via e–mail/ telephone/ fax.
If the client cancels with more than 8 weeks’s advance notice, GLC shall be entitled to an amount equivalent to 50% of the conference fee and 16 EUR administration charge. In case the client has already made his/her payment, this will be deducted from the conference fee GLC has already received and the remainder will be refunded. If no conference fee has been received prior to the cancellation request, GLC will issue an invoice for the cancellation fee (the amount equivalent to 50% of the conference fee and 16 EUR administration charge), which the client must pay immediately upon receipt. No refunds are available for cancellations received with 8 week’s (or less) advance notice or in case the client fails to attend the conference. In these cases, the full amount of the conference fee must be paid.
- 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
