Course Description

An audit is an objective, independent analysis of a company's finances and processes. There are several skills auditors need to provide the best advice and solutions to companies.

Organizations today are looking to their audit departments for company insights, risk and fraud expertise, in-depth industry knowledge, and forward-looking reporting. Auditors are expected to be open-minded and analytical thinkers. Decision-making skills and professional judgment are a daily necessity in the internal audit process.

Those in charge of the day-to-day supervision of engagements need to consciously embrace and demonstrate characteristics that will enable him/her to transition to firm leaders. This includes a focus on three key pillars: financial success, retaining clients through superior client service, and developing other professionals.

This online CPE course will provide tips and best practices for stretching experienced auditors past the basics in each of the three pillars of success.

The following are the key topics covered in this CPE/CPD Auditing webinar:

Improving a firm's financial results by improving effective and efficient audits
Transforming the audit through creative thinking
Managing change for positive outcomes
Retaining clients by ensuring exceptional service

Nevin Barley, CIA

This is a great topic that is relevant to CPA practices and I encourage everyone at all levels in assurance practices to watch. The SALY mentality is pervasive throughout the industry and too many staff reproducing work without understand why and it ultimately leads to substandard deliverables which do not add much value.
