Introduction to the New Internal Audit Training Program

Reskill Co., Ltd. is excited to announce the launch of its new training program focused on enhancing the skills of internal auditors. As organizations strive to overcome challenges, this program aims to shift the focus of internal auditing from mere compliance checks to risk-based audits that significantly contribute to management decisions. Participants will learn how to develop risk-based plans, identify root causes through in-depth analyses, and propose improvements that can drive organizational growth.

Current Challenges in Internal Audit

The Need to Move Beyond Formality

In many organizations, internal audits have become a mere formality, often limited to ticking off checklist items. While these audits serve a purpose, they often fail to uncover the fundamental risks present in the organization. Such superficial approaches do not lead to meaningful improvements.

Expectations for Management-Contributing Audits

In today's landscape, there is an increasing demand for audits that can prevent scandals and strengthen governance. Management expects auditors to appropriately evaluate risks and facilitate organizational improvements. To achieve this, it is crucial for auditors to possess the skills necessary to communicate effectively and bridge the gap between the operational teams and management.
