Our new templates

Internal Audit Manual

 

An Internal Audit Manual is the backbone of any audit department. It sets the rules, expectations and ways of working which help ensure quality in every audit. Our Internal Audit Manual Template has also been translated from English to French, German, Spanish, and Italian.

Custom Templates

We know you love our templates (and a huge thank you for your support), however we also know that our templates only show one way of working and may not necessarily meet the needs of your audit department. Because of this, we have now decided to offer custom template services. You can read about how it works and request a quote by clicking this link here.

Things are back in full swing, with many of the Big 4 and industry groups now providing a range of free webinars (some even provide free CPD!).

We will also send another learning update out mid month to keep you up to date.
