• Seminars titled ‘Auditing at the Speed of Risk’, ‘Being an Internal Audit Agent of Change’ and ‘Becoming an Internal Audit Trusted Advisor’ to be conducted by Richard Chambers
  • The training will enable audit professionals to be Agents of Change and catalysts for transformation: H.E. Abdulqader

Dubai: The UAE Internal Auditors Association (UAE IAA) will be conducting three training seminars in March 2023 in Dubai under the aegis of the Audit Trail Academy to impart training to internal audit professionals in the UAE aimed at honing their professional skills.

The training seminars will be conducted by highly acclaimed internal audit expert Richard Chambers, global internal audit advocate and former President and CEO of The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA Global), the world body of internal auditors, headquartered in the US.

Audit Trail Academy is an educational programme in a classroom setting for training internal audit professionals based on the experience and insights of Mr Richard Chambers.

The three training seminars -- ‘Auditing at the Speed of Risk’ on March 2 and 3; ‘Being an Internal Audit Agent of Change’ on March 6 and 7, and ‘Becoming an Internal Audit Trusted Advisor’ on March 8 and 9, 2023 – will be conducted at Sheraton Mall of the Emirates, Dubai.

“This is part of our pioneering initiatives in upskilling internal auditors in the UAE by imparting training. My advice to internal audit professions is to make use of these training seminars which will explore the imperative for value creation. The training seminars will enable them to be Agents of Change and catalysts for transformation, which will ultimately enhance the standard of internal audit practice in the UAE to global levels,” said H.E. Abdulqader Obaid Ali, Chairman of the board of UAE IAA.

‘Auditing at the Speed of Risk’ seminar will challenge participants to adapt a client service mindset as internal auditors, and to transform their processes and methodologies to audit at the speed of 21st century risks. Participants will explore concepts for continuous risk assessment, identifying and monitoring emerging risks, and planning, conducting and reporting internal audit engagements at the speed of risk.

The seminar titled ‘Becoming an Internal Audit Trusted Advisor’ will explore the nine attributes of outstanding internal auditors, and will identify effective strategies to develop and enhance those attributes.

“Professionals must be equipped to not only protect value, but to contribute to enterprise value creation. They must be agents of change, catalysts for transformation that not only protects but also creates value.”

Participants will be able to assess their own competencies and identify effective strategies to become valued agents of change in the organisations they serve.

The Audit Trail Academy will give certificates to those who complete the three sessions, in addition to certificates and 16 CPE credits from UAE IAA for each session.

UAE IAA, a non-profit organization, was set up in 1995 along the lines of its parent body, the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA Global) which has 220,000 members from more than 190 countries and organizations.
