EXAMPLE:
Provide Session Title: Assurance and Consulting Engagements: Are they Mutually Exclusive?
Most internal audit functions include consulting services as a part of their audit charter. But is it really clear which type of services is assurance versus consulting? Is it possible to have elements of both in an engagement, and still comply with the IIA’s Standards?
In this session, participants will learn how to:
- Distinguish between assurance, consulting and blended engagements.
- Describe the criteria for conducting blended engagements, versus pure assurance or consulting engagements.
- Follow a principles-based framework for conducting blended engagements, while ensuring compliance with The IIA’s Standards.
- Develop ideas for reporting the assurance and consulting components of blended engagements.
