Internal Audit Associate
Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.
- Risk and control matrixThe audit plan as a table: each risk in the process, the control meant to stop it, how the control will be tested, and what is out of scope.
- Testing workpaperWhat was tested, how the sample was chosen, each exception with its detail, the exception rate, and what the results mean for the control.
- Findings and agreed actionsEach finding written as condition, criteria, cause and effect, rated by risk, with the action, owner and date agreed with management.
- Internal audit reportThe report for the audit committee: overall opinion first, then the findings in order of rating with their agreed actions, what works well, and the follow-up.

Here is what that looks like for internal audit associate.
