Course Description
More and more banks and financial institutions nowadays tend towards using risk based internal auditing to minimize the risk of audit opinion going wrong. In fact, the activities involved in managing risks are identified as playing a central and essential role in maintaining a sound system of internal control. In the process of risk based internal audit, every audit assignment presents a different challenge to an audit firm, with no two audit assignments being the same.
