Course Overview
Scope on project management internal audit expands through small agreements made in isolation. Projects involving internal audit are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the project and portfolio delivery capability is examined, not just described. What blocks progress on project management internal audit is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the practice within project and portfolio delivery. The course covers internal audit at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better project management internal audit is rarely technical. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of internal audit to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme closes with an action plan for the project and portfolio delivery discipline that each participant writes for their own organisation.
