Auditing and Assurance Practices in Times of Uncertainty

Even in difficult times, professional development remains important. To support you, KCA University-ICAD has organized this webinar to enable you gain knowledge to support your work!

Organizations and audit practices (both internal and external), have had to adapt at rapid speed to unprecedented times of COVID – 19. The uncertainty such as these and their long-term impact should always be on top of the minds of audit teams and leaders.

Given the exceptional circumstances, how does audit provides assurance and how is an organization satisfying itself that it is in compliance with legislative and regulatory obligations? In this webinar, we will explore the challenges audit teams face in completing audit engagements remotely and the audit requirements and practices during uncertain times. What tools are being leveraged such as virtual meetings, data analytics, receipt of scanned documents or even asking operational managers to use real time videos to enable the internal auditor see what is happening. How do these support assurance as to whether or not policies and procedures are being followed?
