Chartered Management Institute
This course is based on the Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Management (Level 7), which is accredited by the CMI towards gaining the Chartered Manager status.
Build a rigorous command of risk-based auditing, internal audit methodology and regulatory compliance. This course equips internal audit professionals and finance staff with the practical frameworks to plan, execute and report audits that genuinely strengthen organisational control.

Internal audit is one of the most technically demanding functions in any finance team, yet many professionals enter it without structured training in audit methodology, risk assessment or regulatory expectations. This course addresses that gap directly, providing a practical and technically rigorous grounding in risk-based internal audit practice.
Participants will examine the regulatory and professional framework governing auditing, develop structured approaches to audit planning, risk identification and control evaluation, and build the reporting skills needed to communicate findings credibly to senior management and audit committees. The course draws on current standards including IIA International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF), ISA 315 and ISA 610, ensuring relevance to both internal and external audit environments.
This course is aligned with the CMI recognised Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting and Finance. Participants who complete this certificate and wish to progress to the full diploma may do so through LIBT's structured pathway, with this course counting towards the relevant module requirements.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Evaluate the regulatory and professional framework governing internal and external audit practice.
Apply risk-based audit planning methodologies to design effective and proportionate audit programmes.
Assess internal controls and identify weaknesses using structured evaluation techniques.
Execute audit fieldwork in compliance with IIA IPPF, ISA 315 and relevant professional standards.
Produce clear, evidence-based audit reports and communicate findings to senior stakeholders and audit committees.
