Certified Chief Audit Executive® (cCAE™)

Being a Chief Audit Executive (CAE), the person that heads up an internal audit activity in an organization, is one of the toughest jobs. Wouldn't it be much easier if you had the step-by-step help for exactly how to set up and run a successful internal audit group?

Of course it would!

Where do you learn how to be a successful CAE other than the school of hard knocks by learning from mistakes?

Until now, there has not been a place. That changes today.

And the school of hard knocks... going about it through trial and error... can be a very lonely and risky place, and of course you want a better option, since your career is on the line.

You have been in internal audit for several years, and although you did not necessarily start out in internal audit thinking it was a career pursuit, you have learned how amazing the job can be.

Now you are seeing that internal audit leadership, either at your current company or another organization, is within your immediate career path. Either now, soon or in the not-too-distant future, you will become a Chief Audit Executive (CAE).

You already know the things that all good internal auditors are trained to know (you are strong on the "A" of CAE). Things like the applying The Standards and related IPPF, formalizing project-based risk assessments, establishing project scope, documenting workpapers, writing findings, drafting and issuing reports, and so on. Extremely valuable skills and experiences for any marketable internal audit professional.

You also see, and generally understand, what Chief Audit Executives are supposed to do, but how much EXECUTIVE PRESENCE do you have? How much CONFIDENCE do you have? The fact that you are reading this means you'd probably like some help with the "E" of CAE, right?

How can you demonstrate and prove your competency and increase your confidence to perform at the CAE level?

The Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) designation does not prepare you for that. The IIA’s Vision University does not prepare you for that.

You not only need to be a good audit leader when you are the CAE ... you need to be CONFIDENT and a damn good EXECUTIVE too!

Wouldn't it be helpful to find a course where you learn about and demonstrate proficiency in challenging topics like:

• Preparing for an Audit Committee meeting
• Managing the dual reporting relationship: the tricky balance between keep executive management and the board happy.
• Navigating organizational politics with your peers
• Establishing, Building, and Sustaining C-suite relationships
• Maximizing the use of Co-sourcing with limited dollars
• Maintaining a Dynamic Risk Assessment
• Forging a relationship with the Audit Committee Chair
• Being a Courageous Communicator
• Leading a dynamic staff of professionals
• Handling an Audit Committee Executive Session
• Establishing and Sustaining your Executive Presence
• And, so much more...

Where can you learn about these challenging topics and get step-by-step help through the whole process of being a CAE?

The answer has been, until now, NOWHERE.
