Audit training — including the use of AI
Workshops run by a practitioner, on material from real engagements. No slides copied out of the standards — exercises on data that looks like yours.
Training is worth something when the participant does one thing differently on Monday than they did on Friday. So every workshop ends with something the participant takes away — an audit programme, a set of tests, or a working prompt that runs on their own data.
We deliver in-house training for teams and individual sessions, remotely or on the client’s premises, in English or Polish.
Artificial intelligence in audit work
Our most requested workshop. Not about what AI is — about where in an engagement it genuinely shortens the work, and where it introduces risk an auditor cannot accept.
What the workshop covers
- Where AI helps and where it hurts — a map of engagement stages with an assessment of usefulness and risk for each
- Document analysis — rapid searching of contracts, policies and procedures, spotting inconsistencies between documents, comparing versions
- Working with data — building queries and formulas, detecting anomalies, describing distributions, preparing data for testing
- Drafting findings — turning working notes into findings with the correct structure: condition, criteria, effect, cause, recommendation
- AI-assisted OSINT — speeding up searches, organising results, spotting connections in large information sets
- Lines that must not be crossed — personal and confidential data in external tools, model confabulation, the duty to verify every finding, an audit trail for tool use
What participants take away
- A library of ready prompts for typical audit tasks
- A checklist for assessing the reliability of a model’s output
- A template internal policy on the use of AI in an audit function
- Exercises to repeat independently on their own data
Duration: one day (6–7 hours), or two days in the extended version with hands-on work on participants’ own data.
Training catalogue
The auditor’s craft — from plan to recommendation
Risk analysis as the basis of the annual plan, building an engagement programme, evidence-gathering techniques, framing a finding in five elements, writing recommendations that can be implemented and verified.
Data analytics in audit
Working on the full population instead of a random sample. Duplicate testing, three-way matching, value-distribution and timing-pattern analysis, detecting transactions just below thresholds. Exercises in spreadsheets and Power BI.
Fraud detection and prevention
The fraud triangle and offender profile, typical schemes in procurement, settlements and inventory, a catalogue of red flags, designing detection tests, conducting an investigative interview, securing evidence.
Business intelligence and OSINT for auditors
Open sources and public registers, reconstructing ownership structure and personal connections, assessing counterparty reliability, documenting the source of a finding, the legal limits of open-source research.
Preventing bullying and unwanted behaviour
Legal definitions and the line between conflict and bullying, employer obligations, building an anti-bullying policy, receiving and handling reports, the role of the panel, the evidentiary standard in an internal investigation.
Management control in practice
Management control standards without the wall of regulation, identifying and assessing risk, designing controls proportionate to risk, self-assessment that is not a fiction, a defensible management control statement.
How we run workshops
Built on your cases
Before the session we gather information about the organisation and the problems the team faces. Exercises are built on material as close to your reality as possible — anonymised, but real.
More practice than lecture
Roughly one third theory, two thirds hands-on work. Participants complete tasks, make mistakes and discuss them in the room — the only way a skill survives the training.
Support afterwards
For a month after the workshop participants can ask questions by email — usually when they try a technique on their own engagement and something does not work.
Book training for your team
Tell us how many participants, their level, and what should change afterwards. We will design a programme around those three things.
