Certificate Highlights

Obtain your certificate in internal audit from Illumeo.com and learn about Internal Audit from a past Chief Audit Executive and long-time auditor who has worked in the profession for decades, and led Internal Audit at leading global companies. This program is available at a fraction of the cost and time of the full CIA certification while providing rich, far-reaching insights and practical advice for those already in or wishing to be in Internal Audit.

This program has been developed by a past Chief Audit Executive with over 25 years of working in the internal audit profession. The courses included in this program provide much more than the methodologies and framework outlined in the International Professional Practices Framework. They teach the real-life challenges Internal Auditors face while abiding by the standards while also providing alternative resolutions for executing your professional duties.

Part One of the program provides the professional with a strong overview of the IIA standards along with suggestions for implementing those standards within various environments. We also discuss important concepts for developing and maintain a strong internal audit department as well as tactical elements of properly documenting and testing protocols.

Part Two of the program speaks to the execution of risk-based auditing. The IIA standards indicate auditors should apply a risk-based approach but they do not outline a framework for doing this. These segments provide a framework you can utilize to embed risk-based auditing in your environment. We also discuss concepts of cybersecurity, information technology, fraud, and forensic accounting responsibilities for internal auditors

Part Three of the program provides an in-depth review of the COSO 2013 framework and how to implement critical elements of the framework. We also discuss establishing relationships with the audit committee and round out the sessions by evaluating internal audit focus and emerging risk areas for today and beyond.

This certificate provides the internal audit professional with more than just theory and application of concepts, it provides real-world examples and methods for you to immediately implement in your organization.
