Quick Response Auditing

This virtual course will be delivered regionally via Zoom.

Registration is open to insular government professionals.

Urgent questions and concerns require quick audit response while maintaining quality, focusing on user needs, and conforming to the Government Auditing Standards. Determine when it is appropriate and how to offer alternatives to classic “full scope” audit coverage, and how to establish an auditor-auditee relationship conducive to quick delivery of products. Learn how to tailor audit objectives, approaches and products to better meet immediate needs. Drawing on case studies, learn to write focused objectives with limited scope to facilitate quick field work, timely reporting, and meaningful results to satisfy stakeholder needs.
