Internal auditing is a crucial job that many businesses rely on. A good internal auditor finds things that other managers of the business miss, potentially saving them from costly inefficiencies, operational errors and fines or other legal troubles. Many companies may even have a team of internal auditors of various skill levels looking over different areas of the business.
If you want to join such a team, you need to do anything you can to make yourself stand out. A bachelor’s degree in accounting, business or finance is a great start, but it’s more than likely that the firms you want to work for will be looking for something more when it comes to your internal auditor education.
Our Internal Auditing Training program is an ideal way to continue your internal auditor professional education, especially when you use it to build on our Fraud Auditing Boot Camp class. Although we will put you through your paces during that seminar, you will not have to take a significant amount of time off from work to go through it. You could have the knowledge and background you need to qualify for a promotion at your current position or seek out an internal auditor position at a more desirable company.
This intensive seminar covers many key auditing functions, provided by expert instructors in a clear, digestible way so you can absorb all the most important points throughout those and bring them back to your current job or new employer. If advancing in your career as an internal auditor and building your base of auditing knowledge is important to you, this program is a must.

The world is packed with information; and most organizations struggle to recognize what information they have, why they need it, how long they need it for, and if it has any value. Furthermore, changes in the law, such as the recent changes in the UAE employment law, often call for tighter controls on contract documentation, and lead to a need for enhanced management of human resource and contract records. In addition, electronic information is under threat from cyber-attack and personal information is at risk of exposure. As such, the development and implementation of a records management program that includes document control methods to identify, secure, and protect critical information, is necessary for every organization.
This course is designed for participants to introduce to key issues and themes in international development.
Participants will explore and engage in academic debates and discussions around a set of key factors that shape, influence, and constrain the development and prosperity of nations.
The course will explore a number of key themes in international development, including how questions of gender and generation shape the impact of poverty; how processes of globalization, migration, and violent conflict impact development; and how development and the environment are linked.
It also considers what exactly we mean by poverty, and how different ways of understanding poverty feed into different approaches to tackling it.
It will also consider development institutions: what are the key institutions in the architecture of international development? How do they differ, and what are the challenges and opportunities they present? Through this module, participants will gain a solid background in the various factors which shape current approaches to and debates on international development.
By introducing participants to a range of problems in economic development, we will look to analyze how economic theory and models can explain the lack of development in some nations. We will apply such theory to real-world economies to understand the nature of the problems they face and how effective policies can be in tackling the problems.

Each moment of our lives provides an opportunity to practice self-mastery by expanding our visions, awakening the faculties of our minds and our hearts, and assuming full responsibility for living, growing, and contributing. As we master our own emotions, we can enhance our ability to lead others, acting as a role model and someone others would truly wish to follow. Through this program, you will learn a great deal about yourself – how you think, how you perceive the world and how others perceive you, how you communicate and how you can enrich your communication skills - and through that process, you will learn how to lead others with great skill.
