Overview:

This course presents a structured approach for involving all members of the team in all phases of the audit process: from planning through reporting. The team conferencing techniques taught in this course help you reach agreement on key points and develop and write quality reports quickly with fewer rewrites. Using a case study, you practice being involved as team members at strategic points in the audit and report development process. Learn the key points on which agreement is desired at each phase of the audit and useful techniques for reaching desired agreements. The course culminates with drafting specific report sections of the case study from assignments agreed upon in a team conference.

This course can be presented in four days if participants have attended Developing and Presenting Audit Findings (AUDT7021G), or Writing Audit Reports by Objectives (AUDT8511G).
