Enhance Your Audit Function

Our instructors understand the need to empower advancing managers and audit directors by providing you with new ideas and helping you address the specific management issues you are facing right now. That’s why the one-day Leadership Symposium on Managing the Audit Function enables you to step outside of your daily routine to think about management issues, hone your vision, and strengthen your management skills.

One thing you can’t get in a book is attitude toward the job, and [the instructor] presented it well, especially the tips!
