This one-day course includes an overview of the legal authorities that created the federal Offices of Inspector General, assigned them mandatory obligations, and provided discretionary authority to carry out their assigned mission. The program will focus on the Inspector General Act of 1978 with its subsequent amendments, including the Reform Act of 2008 which created CIGIE.

Introductory Auditor Training Program

The class exposes CIGIE entry-level auditors to standards and skill sets with specific focus on planning, collecting evidence, interviewing, documenting work, communicating results, and writing reports.

Overview of Audit and Inspection/Evaluation

The Academy will pilot a 1-day course designed to familiarize non-auditor and non-inspector/evaluator CIGIE professionals with the standards and processes used by the audit and I&E communities in conducting their IG work.

Peer Review

Working with the Federal Audit Executive Council (FAEC), the Academy will sponsor Audit Peer Review training in conjunction with the 2013 Peer Review schedule.

Suspension and Debarment

In conjunction with CIGIE?s Suspension and Debarment Committee, the Academy plans to offer a course that will raise awareness of suspension and debarment within the audit, I&E, and attorney communities.

Writing
