Audit Facilitator & Change Agent
– audit-oriented methodic triad: examine, support and initialize –
Objective:
The focused expansion of staff capabilities is a necessary prerequisite for successful development of the internal audit function. This consultancy module supports course participants in the establishment and implementation of a capabilities atlas that is developed to match their specific audit-function requirements. Together with course participants, ARC instructors formulate the capabilities atlas in accordance with examinations that are to be conducted within the framework of the participant’s risk-oriented audit landscape. This also includes the participant’s strategic development plans for the audit department as well as for the existing and endeavored audit-services portfolios – in addition to the company-specific business model.
In particular, ARC’s instructors incorporate the entire company’s growth perspectives at the same time so that the training-requirement and vocational-improvement analysis also reflects the future requirements of the course participant’s audit operations.

- Starting point: capabilities vs. abilities
