Course Description

One of the key responsibilities of an organisation’s board is to gain assurance that processes are operating within the parameters it has established to achieve the defined objectives. It is necessary to determine whether risk management processes are working effectively and whether key or business-critical risks are being managed to an acceptable level.

With responsibility for assurance activities traditionally being shared among management, internal audit, risk management, and compliance, it is important that assurance activities be coordinated to ensure resources are used in the most efficient and effective way. Assurance Mapping can help.

This course will provide best practice advice and coaching on how to undertake assurance mapping in a straightforward, logical, and practical way. You will learn a range of techniques that will give you the confidence and skills to help you engage with key stakeholders to develop and deliver simple assurance maps while avoiding the many pitfalls and over-complexity.

The results can also inform how internal audit could work more effectively with colleagues in the second line and with external parties who may also be commissioned to provide assurance. Coordination with and reliance upon other assurance providers are important topics and ones that we – as internal auditors – do not always fully obtain benefits from. This course will show you how we could achieve more by closer working, where it right to do so. Be a little courageous here!

Who should attend?

Chief Audit Executives, Internal Audit Managers and Senior Internal Auditors involved in working with key assurance providers and stakeholders to help the board develop assurance mapping in their organisations. Anyone interested in thinking more about coordination with and reliance upon diverse assurance providers and what we need to consider to realise the benefits of this in practice.
