Course Description
Certified Internal Auditors test and evaluate internal control systems. This means they set up systems to prevent loss, theft, fraud, and damaged goods during business operations. They do so by reviewing effectiveness of management, regulation compliance, and safeguarding of assets.
Internal auditors also ensure that all financial data they work with is reliable and up to date. This includes reviewing monthly balance sheets, financial reports, and capital expenditures. Everything reviewed by an internal auditor must follow both internal policies and external regulations.
To put the position in simpler terms, CIAs help upper management mitigate risk and safeguard company assets.
This is a course preparation for certification exam/procedure. The fee doesn't include exam fee. The exam date and application should be done by participant(s) themselves. Please contact us for details and further clarification.
