COSO’s landmark frameworks, Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) and Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework (2017), offer guidance to ensure effective controls and proficient risk management. These frameworks can contribute value to strategic business planning, governance, and execution, monitoring, and adapting processes for any organization.

This course provides an opportunity for internal auditors to develop the level of understanding of the COSO frameworks needed to carry out their roles and responsibilities. Participants will explore how to leverage the COSO frameworks in their audit process through various activities.

The International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) require internal audit activities to “evaluate and contribute to the improvement of governance, risk management, and control processes.” The course will deliver ideas for value-added services to enhance organizational performance and governance for sustainable success and for conforming to the Standards.

The first day of the course focuses on developing an understanding of the internal control and risk management frameworks. The second day of the course focuses on using the frameworks in the internal audit process.
