Internal auditors play a key role in providing assurance to the board, generally through the audit committee, that governance, risk, and control are adequate and effective within their organization. To discharge this duty effectively and efficiently, internal auditors need to adopt a risk-based approach to their work. This workshop provides the opportunity for participants to:

• Learn how to use a risk-based approach to redefine and refocus their audit activities.
• Understand the emergence of risk management, its link with corporate governance and how to audit risk processes.
• Learn how to incorporate management’s view of risk with internal audit’s expertise in risk management to boost auditor productivity and build “bullet-proof” audit plans.
• Get guidance on how to write risk-based, high-impact audit reports.
