Auditor practical training

KBM, being an accounting and finance organisation working for over 30 years, considers that an inadequate audit has critical consequences. It can result in process failure, customer dissatisfaction and regulatory noncompliance. 

Keeping the importance of auditing at the top, KBM has launched an auditor practical training programme. It covers both internal and external audits. We are endorsed by the IFA (Institutes of Financial Accountants), offering accountancy work Experience for students and professionals. We offer Auditor Practical training across the UK and globally via online, classroom, and blended delivery methods.

Auditing leads to a broader range of career opportunities. Auditing falls into two categories, which are internal and external. You must understand these categories before looking too closely at specialisms or niches. 

• Internal auditors work within the company; report to its management. They design the company’s organising systems. Internal auditors assist in developing specific risk management policies and their practical implementation. The company management pinpoints the areas of attention as per the business’s objectives and risks.
• External auditors are independent and report to the shareholders of the company. They provide company shareholders with an expert opinion on the truthfulness of the company’s financial statements. The internal auditor performs work on a test basis to monitor systems in place. The external audit provides an objective, independent examination and to verify that the financial statements give an accurate and fair company picture.

Internal and external auditors training make you capable of:

• Reviewing current audit techniques and further development
• Relating auditing to the business requirements
• Discussing and adopting multiple auditing approaches
• Exploring accounts and financial control systems
