Modules

Each week ends with an artifact you can drop into your working papers.

01

Control inventory with owners

Map assertions to controls, kill duplicates, and assign a named owner who can speak to design.

02

Walkthrough discipline

Run and document walkthroughs that capture exceptions without turning into meeting minutes.

03

Sampling that explains itself

Choose sample sizes you can defend and log selection logic beside the results.

04

Evidence pack assembly

Structure screenshots, tickets, and approvals so a stranger can reconstruct your test.

05

Remediation cadence

Rank findings, set dated owners, and track residual risk without losing the trail.

06

Compliance reporting brief

Compress the cycle into a management narrative with clear appendix links.

Learning outcomes

  • Produce a control inventory that maps cleanly to assertions.
  • Write walkthrough and testing memos that answer “how do you know?”
  • Build a remediation plan with owners, dates, and residual risk notes.
  • Deliver a short compliance reporting brief suitable for management review.

FAQ

Do I need an audit background?

You should already work with controls or compliance reporting. We assume you know what a walkthrough is; we teach how to make yours defensible.

Can our whole team join?

Yes. For six or more seats, ask about Board Brief Circle pricing and private facilitation.

What is a real limitation of this course?

We do not certify you under any regulatory license, and we cannot rewrite your company’s policy framework in six weeks. If your control environment lacks basic ownership, expect to spend extra time outside class assigning owners before the templates help.

Is software included?

Templates are included. Access to any third-party financial auditing app is your organization’s responsibility; we demonstrate patterns that transfer across common tools.

Reviews from this course

“Module 04’s evidence pack checklist caught three missing timestamps we had been ignoring for years.”

Strong on narrative. The sampling week felt rushed if you had never selected samples before — I paired with a colleague and that helped.
