– An online course by auditors, for auditors
Do you want to learn how to use visuals to analyse your audit data, get on the same page as your team and how to communicate your audit story? Then the brand-new e-learning course on the AFROSAI-E Learning Platform (ALP) is the answer.
The Netherlands Court of Audit developed the online course, Visuals in Audits, by building on the insights of their Design Audit Team. The interactive course is available free of charge to staff from all SAIs world-wide, for self-paced learning. The course will be of value to SAI auditors who want to increase or test their knowledge in this field. Do you want to know more about this topic?
