AT30 ● Building an audit plan I Insight sign𝒾𝓃sight

According to the IPPF (International Professional Practices Framework) standard on ‘Planning’, “The chief audit executive must establish a risk-based plan to determine the priorities of the internal audit activity, consistent with the organization’s goals.” This one-day training delivered by QAA will examine the best practices and processes for building a ‘value-added audit plan’.
