STATISTICAL SAMPLING FOR INTERNAL AUDITORS

This 2-day seminar provides the opportunity to learn about the strategies and pitfalls regarding data collection facing auditors, as well as answers to some commonly asked questions.

The seminar includes different methods of random sampling (simple, stratified, dollar unit, stop/go) and non-random sampling (quota, judgmental); explains how to calculate sample size and adjust for population size and resource constraints; examines the concept of strategic sampling to get the most information for minimum cost, including how to combine results, extrapolate and what to report. The seminar provides time for participants to raise issues and concerns they are currently facing in today's environment and to apply what they have learned to audits currently underway, particularly typical challenges faced by auditors in sample selection, data interpretation, generalization, and representativeness.

This is a hands-on, dynamic seminar. It includes lectures, discussions, exercises, and practice.

Take a look at what course participants are saying about this course!

This is the best IIA seminar I have attended.

Lots of practical applications.

Information was very relevant and can be applied to our audits.

I enjoyed learning about practically applying statistics to audit projects.

The group exercises were very fun.

The information learned will be used when we start our sampling and monitoring activities.

Already have recommended we bring the training on-site.

I would recommend this course to others who use alot of statistics in their audits.

The group excercises helped me understand the material better.

There are a few different ways to sample, and this course enlighted me on the way to do that.

Continually relating the statistics back to auditing, not just discussed abstractly. Addressed questions clearly and thoroughly. Instructor [Don Dickie] had good teaching skills.
