Certified Risk Based Internal Auditor™ (cRBIA™)

• Internal audit is usually focusing on historical financial or compliance issues in transaction or process areas
• Many in management don't believe internal audit adds much value
• Internal audit is losing relevance and is being downgraded or made obsolete in organizations

Even though we have been discussing risk-based internal auditing for over 25 years, most internal audit departments are not taking a true risk-based approach.

In fact many think they are doing risk based internal auditing, but are still using old centric approaches like compliance, locations, business units, controls, etc... to create their audit universe and plan instead of focusing on risks related to key strategic objectives.

That is makes internal audit seem like just another compliance function.

And one of the top skill gaps Chief Audit Executives are looking for: risk based internal audit skills.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"The cRBIA course was well thought out and presented in a holistic, integrated manner that kept me interested and motivated to complete it timely. The course was clear, concise and easy to follow, and had great content that can be easily applied. I appreciate your hard work on this and appreciate the bonus material as well." - Christopher

"The cRBIA is one of the two best classes I have taken so far. It is the best risk management class I have taken, even if it is suppose to be an audit class. Really in depth, more than others and I can put it into action immediately. Having a lecture with slides is really motivating, makes one feel like they are in an actual class and keeps my attention. It is much more than I expected, and it is well worth the investment. I am ready for my first risk based internal auditing project." - Terry

"I especially like the part of the course that dealt with developing the audit plan. The course was very practical." - Mario
