Along with an increasingly complex and regulated business world, internal audit must face a high number of topics and functions that need review.
In close collaboration with PwC's subject matter experts, PwC's Academy has developed a multi-layered training curriculum for juniors and more experienced internal auditors alike, designed to assist them in their day-to-day work.
Through the first level, our curriculum offers the fundamentals of the IA business, including internal auditor roles responsibilities, regulatory requirements, and tools.
The second level comprises several courses dedicated to core topics, which are subject to the review of internal auditors. The aim of each course is to provide a basic refresh of regulatory requirements, assist in identifying the risks faced by companies, and guide in the elaboration of an adequate working programme.
Throughout the different modules, our experienced internal auditors and subject matter experts will share best practices and practical tips with our participants.
