Auditing Culture Seminar

Auditing Culture: Challenges and Proven Techniques

October 25 – 26, 2018

8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Location: Edmonton Westin Hotel, 10135 100th Street, Edmonton, AB T5J 0N7

Organizational culture has become an increasingly important issue for internal auditors, in light of corporate

scandals in which culture is typically at the root of unethical behavior and practices. Over 90 percent of

CEOs and CFOs see culture as critical and believe improving corporate culture would increase value in their

organizations (Corporate Culture: Evidence from the Field; Duke University, 2015).

The role of internal audit in assessing organizational culture has not always been clearly defined, and

culture is not an easy area to audit using traditional audit approaches. Results from The IIA’s 2016 North

American Pulse of Internal Audit report indicate that only 42 percent of internal auditors are addressing

culture within their organizations, yet more than half of CAEs see organizational culture as high risk.

The increasing attention to and need for auditing culture requires an understanding of effective strategies

and practical considerations for internal audit. This course gives participants a solid understanding of the

challenges involved in auditing culture. They will take away proven evaluation tools and techniques for

assessing culture, examples of audit reports addressing cultural issues, and techniques for gaining support

from leadership.

This course is designed for CAEs, internal audit managers, and internal audit supervisors who want to

develop or enhance their audit strategy as it relates to organizational culture.

2-day course provides 16 CPE.

Pricing

2-day course: Members $1145.00 / Non-members: $1200.00

*Prices do not include HST/GST

Group rates start at 3 individuals from the same organization. Please email [email protected] for a

price.

Note: All attendees to this class are invited by the Edmonton Chapter to attend the monthly Chapter

luncheon, which is being held at the Westin Hotel. The luncheon is on Day 2 of the course and the guest

speaker is the course facilitator. The course price includes the cost of the Chapter luncheon.

Chapter Achievement Program

For the 2016/2017 Chapter Year, the Edmonton Chapter maintained its Sapphire status in the IIA’s

Chapter Achievement Program (CAP).

To qualify for recognition in the IIA’s CAP program, Chapters must earn specific minimum Chapter

Achievement points in the categories of Service to Members, Service to the Profession, and Chapter

Administration. Once the chapter has met or exceeded the minimum CAP Requirements in the three

categories, the chapter will have reached the BRONZE performance level. A chapter can advance to

SILVER or GOLD levels by accumulating specified point levels defined by the IIA. PLATINUM is a

level recognizing chapters that attain GOLD status for 10 of 11 consecutive years and then each year

thereafter. There are three special levels above Platinum: Ruby recognizing 10 consecutive years of

Platinum; Sapphire recognizing 15 consecutive years of Platinum; and Diamond recognizing 25
