On October 26, a professional development course “Fundamentals of Internal Audit” begins. The training is intended for specialists who want to systematize their knowledge in the field of internal audit and master modern approaches to conducting audit inspections. The training consists of three modules and includes 10 sessions.
The program was created by specialists from the capital Main Control Directorate in cooperation with the Personnel Services Department of the Moscow Government.
The program is primarily aimed at those interested in developing professional competencies and who want to study internal auditing from the perspective of the auditor — from setting objectives and planning the audit to preparing recommendations, implementing corrective measures, and monitoring their execution. The course is designed for relevant employees of the Moscow Government, and the training is free of charge.
“The course is built around the practical cycle of an audit review. Participants study risk-oriented planning, methods of gathering and evaluating audit evidence, principles of documenting results, preparation of the audit report, and development of recommendations. An important part of the program is working with the audit results: participants consider approaches to implementing recommendations, monitoring corrective actions, and advising colleagues. This format allows not to limit oneself to studying theory but to build an understanding of internal financial audit as a sequential management process,” said Tatyana Sorokina, First Deputy Head of the Main Control Office.
Listeners, together with experts from “Moscow Control,” will analyze the key principles of internal audit, including internal financial audit, its goals and objectives, the regulatory framework, and federal standards. Special attention will be paid to distinguishing internal audit, inspection, and financial control. This will help form a comprehensive understanding of the role of audit in the organization’s management system.
“We develop educational programs in such a way that best practices can be scaled across the entire city management system. As a result, auditors and controllers from various organizations of the Moscow Government can speak the same professional language and build unified approaches to solving the capital’s strategic tasks. It is important that this dialogue continues even after training — colleagues stay in touch, share cases, and support each other within professional communities,” noted Polina Loginova, head of the Personnel Services Department of the Moscow Government.
“Moscow Control” regularly shares accumulated expert experience with other organizations. Experts conduct practical webinars and seminars where they explain legal requirements in an accessible way. This open exchange of experience helps specialists from other agencies improve the quality of their work, turning control (supervision) into an effective tool for supporting business and society.
