Internal Audit Certified Programmes

The challenges facing Internal Audit (IA) have never been greater with an increasingly complex and global business environment, as well as heightened governance awareness and increased stakeholder expectations. IA needs people who can adapt to meet these evolving challenges and contribute effectively to the changing role of IA within the organisation. At the same time many organisations are finding it more difficult to recruit and retain individuals with the ‘right’ skills.

At PwC we have extensive experience in assisting clients to meet these challenges, combining depth of training expertise with specialists from the world of IA.

Why IA professionals need to develop?

• As IA’s role evolves, individuals need the right technical, commercial, communication and leadership skills to respond within the more challenging environment.
• New assurance methodologies and processes as well as standards are driving changes to the traditional internal audit skill set.
• There is an increasing demand for IA to engage in commercial conversations and add value to strategic, forward looking programmes.
• The desire for high calibre staff to rotate through internal audit presents challenges to how new auditors can be effective quickly and how they can develop real business skills for the future.
