The Chief Internal Auditor Leadership Programme

Develops heads of internal audit to lead a function that adds strategic assurance rather than simply checking controls. The programme addresses how to earn the confidence of the audit committee, focus scarce resources on the risks that matter, and navigate the independence pressures common in African organisations. Delegates leave ready to reposition audit as a driver of trust and improvement.

What you will be able to do

Set a risk based audit plan aligned to the strategic priorities of the organisation.
Build a productive reporting relationship with the audit committee and executive.
Lead assurance over governance, risk management and control environments.
Safeguard the independence and objectivity of the audit function.
Develop audit talent and modern data driven audit methods.
Communicate findings in a way that drives management action and accountability.
