compliance, so auditors may not have had consistent opportunities to learn and apply critical
thinking concepts to planning and executing an audit, to being alert to negative indicators
during an audit, and to judging the significance of issues and how to report them. Other audi-
tors may simply want to refresh their skills.
This interactive two-day course will help you further develop or refresh familiar concepts
of critical thinking, professional skepticism, and professional judgment, and apply these
concepts to various stages of an audit – from preparation and planning, to assessing and
testing, to communicating and reporting.
This course is taught by Deloitte professionals with practical experience. The facilitators
will use a variety of learning methods, including lecture, presentation, class discussion,
interactive exercises, video scenarios, and participant teach-backs to enhance the learning
experience and provide a variety of opportunities for the participants to practice applying and
challenging the concepts.
