Suitable for
- Internal auditors broadening into technology

Prerequisites
No single qualification is required. We assess your knowledge and experience; foundational audit, risk or technology learning may be recommended before specialist work.
The Technology Assurance Practitioner Bootcamp can be a useful foundation. It is optional — equivalent knowledge and experience also support entry, and content you have already covered there is not charged twice.
What you will work on
- Business processes and technology dependencies
- Risk assessment, objectives and scope
- IT general controls, cyber, cloud and third-party risk fundamentals
- Control design and operating effectiveness
- Evidence assessment, testing and professional judgement
- Findings, recommendations and executive communication
What participants work towards
- A scoped audit plan
- A risk and control matrix with selected tests
- An evidence assessment
- A written finding and summary conclusion
