Introduction:
　　In a western modern perspective the internal auditor's role is to be recognized as a real business partner of management and a facilitator at all levels of the organization in order to stay "in control". This raises a challenge to rethink of internal auditors senior roles and to identify the new skills required in planning and leading internal audit assignments. However the approach can be successful only if it adapts various organizational contexts and cultures.

　　New ways of assessing and managing business risk are causing internal audit leaders and their customers to revisit the purpose, scope, and operations of the internal audit function. Driven by revolutionary developments and ever-accelerating changes in markets, industries, and technology, a new internal audit model is necessary and is now emerging. It is of a future-focused "risk authority"

　　The training is highly practical and interactive with exercises, role plays, simulations
　　in order to present the latest methods to implement and practice the skills required in the international environment of internal auditing notably communication, cognitive and behavioral skills for effective risk based internal audit.
