developments in governance, advocacy, training, certifications, and
specialty audit groups.

much more in-depth material, including scenarios based on real life
cases. Lots of participation and exercises – but no role-plays –
guaranteed!
Day Three is Report Writing for Investigators, a course designed to
assist anyone who has to write a report, structure and use a
framework for their fact finding.

Wide Web.

and other social websites to find information.

Organizational culture has become an increasingly important issue for internal auditors, in light of corporate
scandals in which culture is typically at the root of unethical behavior and practices. Over 90 percent of
CEOs and CFOs see culture as critical and believe improving corporate culture would increase value in their
organizations (Corporate Culture: Evidence from the Field; Duke University, 2015).
The role of internal audit in assessing organizational culture has not always been clearly defined, and
culture is not an easy area to audit using traditional audit approaches. Results from The IIA’s 2016 North
American Pulse of Internal Audit report indicate that only 42 percent of internal auditors are addressing
culture within their organizations, yet more than half of CAEs see organizational culture as high risk.
The increasing attention to and need for auditing culture requires an understanding of effective strategies
and practical considerations for internal audit. This course gives participants a solid understanding of the
challenges involved in auditing culture. They will take away proven evaluation tools and techniques for
assessing culture, examples of audit reports addressing cultural issues, and techniques for gaining support
from leadership.
This course is designed for CAEs, internal audit managers, and internal audit supervisors who want to
develop or enhance their audit strategy as it relates to organizational culture.
2-day course provides 16 CPE.
Pricing
2-day course: Members $1145.00 / Non-members: $1200.00
*Prices do not include HST/GST
Group rates start at 3 individuals from the same organization. Please email [email protected] for a
price.
Note: All attendees to this class are invited by the Edmonton Chapter to attend the monthly Chapter
luncheon, which is being held at the Westin Hotel. The luncheon is on Day 2 of the course and the guest
speaker is the course facilitator. The course price includes the cost of the Chapter luncheon.
