Next-Gen Internal Audit, AI & Forensic Excellence
Overview:
This comprehensive three‑day masterclass equips participants with the knowledge, methodologies, and tools to perform risk‑based audits, detect and prevent fraud, and conduct forensic investigations. The program emphasises how effective internal audit can deliver value and balance performance with conformance by integrating governance, risk management, and control assurance.
Participants will learn how to align audit activities with organisational strategy and risk appetite, utilise the Three Lines Model, select appropriate audit approaches, and audit high‑risk areas such as cyber security, data privacy, third‑party relationships, customer engagement, and organisational culture.

Through interactive exercises, case studies, and role plays, delegates will develop practical skills to identify anomalies, manage investigations, and communicate findings effectively.
