Looking at Audit Ratings and Opinions for Today’s High-Stakes Environment

Kuvaus

Viimeaikaiset tapaukset ovat nostaneet sisäisen tarkastuksen toiminnan suurennuslasin alle. Tarkastuslausunnot eivät ole vain raportteja – ne ovat kriittisiä työkaluja, joihin hallitukset ja sääntelyviranomaiset nojaavat päätöksenteossa. Kestääkö nykyinen arviointijärjestelmäsi tämän lisääntyneen tarkastelun?

Tässä ajankohtaisessa koulutuksessa pääset syventymään auditointiluokitusten kehittämiseen ja varmistamaan, että tarkastuslausuntosi tarjoavat sidosryhmien vaatiman varmuuden. Koulutuksen vetää James C. Paterson, entinen AstraZeneca PLC:n sisäisen tarkastuksen johtaja, joka on toiminut konsulttina ja kouluttajana yli 10 vuotta IIA:n tilaisuuksissa Belgiassa, Suomessa, Luxemburgissa, Alankomaissa, Norjassa, Sveitsissä ja Isossa-Britanniassa.

Liity mukaan ja varmista, että tarkastusprosessisi kestää tarkastelun ja tukee sidosryhmien odotuksia nykypäivän monimutkaisessa riskikentässä!
