Certified Agile Auditor Professional® Scrum Master (cAAP-SM™)
Field: Auditing | Delivery Method: Self Study | CPE Hours: 8.0
As audit leaders, we must produce the highest quality insights into the organization’s risk environment. Agile auditing approaches the audit with an acknowledgment that risks are always changing, and we need to adapt to those changes to give the board and audit committee the information they need at the right time. Our agile audit teams can only function well with proper guidance - that’s where you come in.
As a Certified Agile Audit Professional® Scrum Master (cAAP-SM™), you have a deeper knowledge of agile, scrum, managing the audit team, and giving feedback to the CAE so that future audits are meaningful.
