Manager, Corporate Assurance, Prosperity Advisers Group (GradCertIA Graduate)
"Having practiced as an external auditor, internal auditor and adviser to a broad range of businesses for ten years, I was sceptical as to the value that the Graduate Certificate would provide. I can honestly report that the program was of immense value. The reinforcement of core concepts and internal audit processes and techniques increased my on the-job skillset and enhanced my confidence in delivering internal audits. The program extended my knowledge in areas such as information systems audit and IT project related audits which I was immediately able to bring to the table and better service my clients. Of particular convenience was the online delivery platforms which suited my heavy travel schedule. I would recommend the program to all internal auditors regardless of their level of experience.”
Leanne Toby PMIIA GradCertIA
Professional Risk and Development Manager (GradCertIA Graduate)
I genuinely loved every part of the course. But in particular, I found the course notes and prescribed texts were spot on – very helpful in applying what we were learning to the workplace.
The webinars in all 4 modules were certainly a highlight. All presenters were incredibly knowledgeable and offered useful insights from their own experiences. ‘Accounting basics’ in Module 3 was nothing short of outstanding! I’m a ‘non-accountant’, so I was anxious about how I’d go in Module 3. But the webinars were fantastic at getting me on the right track.
The online forum where tutorial questions were discussed was an unexpected bonus. I gained a great deal from the knowledge, experience and insights shared by other participants.”
