Quotes From Our Participating Professors:
"I assigned two cases to my IT Audit course. The students used KnowledgeLeader to find IC questionnaires, examples of application input controls, as well as an example of an audit memo. I also use KnowledgeLeader to identify hot topics to discuss with the Internal Audit and IT Audit courses." - Check out KnowledgeLeader’s
Tools section!
"Students will be expected to access KnowledgeLeader for articles which they will have to read, summarize, and then prepare a 1 page summary review for submission to me for a grade. I usually assign 5 article reviews for each class." - Check out KnowledgeLeader’s Publication section!
"Students in my Internal Auditing class were given KnowledgeLeader accounts. I had them watch a video that describes the role of the internal auditor "Introduction to the Internal Audit Profession" and complete a quiz based on that video. They also familiarized themselves with the contents of Knowledge Leader by using the Take a Tour Link. This was followed by a brief scavenger hunt to learn more about the resources on KnowledgeLeader. We would discuss articles that come in the weekly updates."
"The major benefit that I received was in preparing the materials for my course. The course was on internal control frameworks and not internal audit per se. There are no textbooks that mirrored the material in the course. I was able to use a large quantity of materials from KnowledgeLeader in the structure of the course. I was even able to "cobble" together power point presentations for the class from power point presentations in KnowledgeLeader." - Check out KnowledgeLeader’s

"KnowledgeLeader was a fantastic resource for my IT Auditing course this spring. Students used KnowledgeLeader to research IT Audit risk issues and study IT Audit internal control questionnaires and work programs to prepare for quizzes and exams and to support their research projects and presentations."
"My students must write a term paper on an internal auditing related subject. I give them a tour of KnowledgeLeader and encourage them to use it as a source of information for their papers. The references in the bibliographies tell me that many are using KnowledgeLeader."
"I use the site for a corporate governance course as well as a course dealing with governance, risk and compliance. Each class has assignments that require students to evaluate the internal controls of a company."
"I assign topics and have students go to KnowledgeLeader to find information on the topics. Sometimes I find the particular items on KnowledgeLeader and have the students read it." - Check out KnowledgeLeader’s Topics section!
"Students primarily used the tool for case study projects and a large project that they have in the advanced auditing class. For IT Audit they use it for ongoing work on technology risk management which is covered through the class." - Check out the
Performer Profiless section!
"For this assignment, we used KnowledgeLeader extensively. We used it to find industry standards, risks and controls for certain processes, and examples to support our findings. Without it, we would have a very limited deliverable."
"Generally we used the search function within business continuity. We utilized forms, examples, and articles. All of them were helpful."
"A research project is assigned, which requires use of KnowledgeLeader for selected topics regarding audit software."
"I used report samples as guides for the final project (which was to write an audit report)."
"I find KnowledgeLeader valuable as a way to supplement our textbook. My students use KnowledgeLeader to find articles and audit programs. The FAQs are very helpful."
"Course readings and recommended as a source for research paper."
"I use it to keep students up to date with respect to auditing issues."
"I assigned readings from the KnowledgeLeader
Tools & Guidance modules."
"As this was my first time in making it available to students, I demonstrated the site and showed users how to navigate through it to get access to resources. It will be used more extensively in my auditing class next semester."
