Training and events
Take part in our seminars and events
We offer a wide range of training and further education courses to help you expand and deepen your knowledge. These include high-level, tailor-made seminars and in-house training sessions for internal auditors held in English, French and German. We offer our seminars online and in person. They cover everything from foundational courses to sessions on current, industry-specific topics such as IT auditing, fraud detection and soft skills optimisation, and also include cross-sector seminars. We also offer preparatory seminars for individual training programmes. In addition, we hold afterwork events, conferences and ERFA groups to help encourage exchange between colleagues working in internal auditing.
Speakers
Our seminars are led by experienced auditors, academics, professors and external consultants. We select our speakers individually based on the concept and topic of the seminar. They all enrich the sessions with their expertise, background and wealth of experience. All of our seminars focus on knowledge transfer and practical applicability in the participants’ everyday professional life.
