Thanks to Mark Salamasick at the University of Texas-Dallas for contributing this syllabus.
This course is designed with topics to prepare students for the responsibilities and challenges faced as an auditor in charge. The course format will include discussions on emerging topics facing individuals in positions related to controls monitoring. The course assumes a baseline knowledge of internal and external audit, however requires only a course in one of the two. It is preferred that individuals taking this course should be those with some audit experience either through a full time audit position, internship, or class project. Guests that are subject matter experts from different areas and backgrounds will participate in class discussions in areas concerning how auditors deal with issues in today’s environment. This course is a graduate seminar, not a lecture class. Students will be expected to engage themselves fully as seminar participants.
