URČENO PRO
Chief audit executives, internal audit managers, senior internal auditors and any other internal auditor who is thinking about the ethical dilemmas we face in our day-to-day work, and how to address them. The course is also great to help achieve those mandatory ‘ethics’ CPE hours!
CÍL SEMINÁŘE
A focus on ethics is essential for us as internal auditors because an appropriate, ethical approach helps protect our credibility, ensures fair and objective work, and helps safeguard the integrity of the organisation as a whole.
But it isn’t always easy or straightforward to avoid ethical dilemmas and challenges.
Oh no.
We bump into ethical difficulties regularly and knowing how to navigate through these minefields isn’t always intuitive or easy.
Our Global Internal Audit Standards™ recognise this and have reshaped and restructured our approach to ethics. Honesty and professional courage are key.
This focused course will help you reflect on the importance of ethics in undertaking our privileged role as internal auditors, how to smell an ethical dilemma, and how to address these appropriately.
OBSAH SEMINÁŘE
This course will take you through a blend of discursive and practical examples covering:
- Internal Audit and Ethics – its importance and relevance to us and our work.
- Where has internal audit perhaps fallen short?
- Domain Two – Ethics and Professionalism, a very short overview.
- Integrity and courage – common challenges and how to deal with them.
- Objectivity and professional scepticism – common challenges and how to deal with them.
- Competency and due professional care – common challenges and how to deal with them.
- Confidentiality and the protection of information – common challenges and how to deal with them.
- Ethical dilemmas and how to overcome them – a summary
The course includes facilitator input to encourage you to consider why ethics are important to us as internal auditors, what some of the likely challenges are, and how we can successfully address these.
