Course objectives
Most of the business processes accompany a variety of threats. To eliminate these threats we can use modern audit as a tool for exposing the risks and recommending remedial action. The course objective is therefore to introduce the problems of audit activity during the fourth industrial revolution to students. Audit is no longer focused on a "hard" control approach, but it turned into a "soft" consulting service of today´s business. The course provides a comprehensive overview of the audit theories from describing the historical development of the profession through an explanation of the audit classification in the context of external and internal concepts to the interpretation of the current methods in the processing of audit engagement. The subject emphasises the quality of audit conducting, documentation completing, result presentation, and leading a professional communication on audit results. At the end of the course the full-time and part-time students will be able to handle risk analysis, to prepare a planning process of audits, or apply selected external and internal auditors´ approach, including the use of modern techniques. The students will also understand the primary requirements for auditing profession performance regulated by the Auditing Standards and the law of Czech Republic.
