Course Description: Three day practical hands-on implementation workshop provides the easiest way to learn plus build your experience and proficiency. Attendees will participate in Planning, Executing and Reporting audits using the official auditing standards and evidence testing procedures. Our workshop provides an experience building opportunity which extends far beyond what you could accomplish anywhere else. This extends concepts of ISACA and the Sybex 2011 CISA Study Guide 3rd Edition from just reading theory into practical execution. Three days of workshop activites is usually enough time since attendees will actually perform the audits using ISO & ISACA standards, from planning thru evidence selection, design of testing, evidence analysis and reporting. Our courseware provides a complete, practical workflow in a simple step-by-step audit recipe not shown in any ISACA study materials. It’s not a cram course focused only on the exam. This is the workflow you need to be successful on the exam AND getting ahead in your daily job. Persons wishing to obtain certification usually have no trouble passing after participating in this seminar. All classes are very small with 14 or less students. It's EXACTLY what is needed for your success with your staff, clients and your organization.
