Training description<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a new practice guide on audit planning that reminds us that audit cycles and audit universes are really a legacy of a more traditional approach to planning. Learn progressive ways to do a \u201ctop-down\u201d plan that is better aligned to strategies, objectives, and key risks, and that incorporates other assurances. Also, learn how to create a plan that adds value by being clear about the key \u201cexam questions\u201d, and that flows into assignment plans so that timely and relevant assignments are delivered.\u00a0 Learn how to present an audit plan in an impactful way and make clear the needed resources and skills required for the audit team.<\/span><\/p>\n
