SAIPA allows training offices the opportunity to provide simulated exposure to competencies. This course is designed for delegates who has prior university knowledge on auditing concepts surrounding internal controls. The purpose of the course is to enable delegates to apply and extend this embedded knowledge to successfully demonstrate acceptable performance in all the competencies as defined below. The following competencies will be assessed: RMO 1A: Evaluating systems of internal control in achieving the control objectives Formative and summative layouts are used to test and analyse the delegates comprehension of knowledge. The delegates will be required to actively participate in formative learning in the form of case studies, discussions and performance tasks. The performance tasks will require the delegates to create or take an action related to a problem surrounding internal controls. An electronic summative evaluation is conducted upon the conclusion of the course in a highly controlled environment. The required skills will be practiced and evaluated by means of pre-course work, in-class examples and group discussions as well as a post-course evaluation (to be done in class). Some key focus areas of this course include the identification of key and support business processes, identification and documentation of internal controls, assessment of internal controls within a cloud based procurement environment, evaluation of COSO and COBIT principles, amongst others. All case studies are based on relevance and simulates the key issues and frame works used in an internal audit environment. The required skills for this module will be practiced through simulated case studies and group discussions. Each competency will be evaluated through a combination of online assessments as well as a integrated post course evaluation. The post course evaluation is a practical exercise reflecting real work scenarios - providing delegates the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to perform the task at hand.
