Prepare for the training

Bring a process map and an anonymised internal audit example for the practical exercise.

Use an anonymised case to practise the following: writing internal audit findings.

Match training to the participant’s role

For Internal Auditor Training, define the learning objective, existing experience and the work participants must perform afterwards. Confirm prerequisites, programme scope and examples before choosing dates or delivery format.

Prepare practical learning evidence

Use relevant process documents, cases and exercises to connect the subject with work. Agree whether the programme includes an examination or another assessment and what completion actually demonstrates.

Clarify time, cost and the outcome

Participant numbers, delivery method and tailored exercises affect planning. State what attendance, completion or an assessment record means; taking a course alone does not establish organisational certification or independent auditor authority.
