$590.91 - $785.00
Assurance mapping is a tool that enables Internal Auditors to visually present all assurance activities of the organisation, both internal and external, as they apply to the organisation’s risks.
For example, the map might depict the top risks such as the most likely strategic risks an organisation faces, or it might set out specific compliance duties that cover director obligations. A clear benefit is that once complete, any gaps or duplications can be identified and corrected. This course will take you through the assurance mapping process which can be practically applied in all organisations no matter how big or small.
