Surveys conducted by the IIA, PwC, KPMG, Pro vi and others in the first six months of 2014
indicate growing customer dissa sfac on with tradi onal “direct report internal audit methods
and service” (NOTE: Direct report means an approach where internal audit acts as primary risk
and control analysts and reporters as opposed to management). The July 2014 Global IIA update
“The Pulse of the Profession: Enhancing Value through Collabora on: A Call to Ac on” calls on
the profession to make radical and rapid changes to the way internal audit services and assurance is delivered to address growing customer dissa sfac on. (See: (h ps://na.theiia.org/special-promo on/Member%20Documents/Global%20Pulse%20of%20the%20Profession%20-%20

and boards of directors. This training has been designed to provide a fast paced half-day workshop for those that want a concise execu ve briefing on what’s driving the dissa sfac on; with
the op on of taking an addi onal 1.5 days of more granular “how to” training designed to help
