Introductory Auditor Training Program

The 2-week long Introductory Auditor Training Program provides an overview of auditing in the federal government. The class exposes entry-level auditors to GAGAS standards and skill sets with specific focus on planning, collecting evidence, interviewing, documenting work, communicating results, and writing reports. This class also offers sessions on detecting fraud and working with investigators, and provides participants the opportunity to attend a Congressional hearing as a means of exposing them to how Congress operates and interacts with the Inspector General community.

The class meets from 8 am to 4 pm each day except for the last day when it concludes at Noon.

The class will be held in the Washington, DC area on the following dates:

• June 4-15, 2012
• September 10-21, 2012
