Course Description
In the past few decades, organizations have
discovered something incredible: the principles that have been used to create
enormous successes in large projects can be applied to projects of any size to
create amazing success. As a result, many employees are expected to understand
project management techniques and how to apply them to projects of any size.
Internal auditors do not consistently apply
basic project management skills throughout the audit process. Auditors tend to
"know" how to audit thus believe regimented project management is not
necessary.
This is not the case. This online CPE
course examines project management roles and environments, the project life
cycle and various techniques of work planning, and control and evaluation to
achieve project objectives. The tools currently available to project managers
are discussed throughout this course.
Specifically, how the project cycle mirrors
the internal audit cycle, how to utilize project management for a more
efficient and effective audit and how project management promotes transparent,
continuous communication.
The CPE course provides participants with the skills and techniques
necessary to embed project
management methods into the internal audit process.
Formal project management methodologies
can help reduce and alleviate many of the struggles with delays,
prioritization, scope, and timeliness
auditors routinely face. The tools and techniques shared can be
immediately implemented in every
audit process.
