Overview:
Receive in-depth, hands-on guidance and practice in developing audit findings. Adequate finding development requires that you start with the right audit objectives, compile sufficient appropriate information to satisfy those objectives, and promote an adequate and correct understanding of the reported matters. You must also convince readers to recognize the validity of the findings and the benefit of implementing any recommendations.

Learn the appropriate finding elements to match the kind of audit you are doing. In multiple case exercises you practice developing audit findings for the following types of audits: compliance, processes and controls, accomplishments and impact.
