Auditing Third Party Risk and Auditing Fraud Risk

Training Description:

As if managing your organisation’s own risk profile isn’t challenging enough today, management must concern itself with how every one of their suppliers and vendors addresses risk. That’s right -management is responsible for the risk-related action or inaction of everyone in their service and supply-chain network.

How concerned should your organisation be about the dangers of third-party risk today? In short – very concerned. Third-party risk should be a top-of-mind concern for all businesses today – from global giants to two-person start-ups. If your business engages supply-chain partners or outsources anything, third-party risk should be on your internal audit radar.

This half-day course will show you how to begin to provide effective, professional insight and internal audit assurance over this important area.

Internal auditors are also expected to provide assurance over their organisation’s fraud risk management framework and control arrangements. They must also be able to react to the rapidly changing business environment and emerging fraud risks. Building on our morning session in the afternoon, this second half-day course will help you better address fraud risk management and enable you to provide more insightful assurance in this key area.

Who should attend?

This course has been designed to be relevant to internal auditors, audit managers and chief audit executives from every business sector – private, public, and voluntary – and for delegates with varying levels of practical experience. It is of most relevance to those about to embark upon an internal audit of outsourced partnerships, procurement, contract management and the associated risks, for those who manage audits in this area or for those wishing to stay up to date with topical developments and emerging areas of internal audit interest.
