At 29 when I became the CAE of a Fortune 500 company and started the Internal Audit Department, there was no prior history of auditing and as such I had to rely on common sense and logic to establish the audit procedures. The Chairman of the Board / CEO, my boss was a lawyer and he only dealt in facts not speculation. In order to meet his key criteria, I learned quickly that I had to use the data that was available to do my risk assessments and auditing to present satisfactory results to the audit committee and the boss. We will discuss the basics of this approach in this webinar.
