Course Details

This is an introductory level audit course designed for audit trainees to provide them with the practical knowledge they need to upskill and be more effective in their jobs. This course will be a very practical application of the auditing standards with plenty of examples and templates which we will work through in the course. We will go through what documentation needs to be kept on file as audit evidence and what needs to be documented on workpapers. 


The focus will be on what the trainee needs to do to produce an audit file ready for review and when they need to escalate issues up to the manager / partner level. The course will be valuable to audit trainees as well as more experienced auditors looking for a refresher on practical audit requirements.
