Revised for 2010 with new slide designs and examples
Continuing with our tradition of maintaining the #1 ABL Audit
Course, dozens of slides have been added, and some were deleted for the Year
2010 course based on student feedback and instructor white-board drawings.
The
DATA course has been added
while additional revisions include over 200 hours of work on slide enhancements
and changes in the presentation examples. We've also updated the
electronic disk-based users reference manual. We NEVER stop revising and
improving this course!
Background
Starting in 1994, Intermediate ABL Audit Seminar become the #1 ABL Audit
Course. Based on extensive analysis of what is wrong with training,
including analysis of hundreds of hours of (poor quality) training from national
providers, CPA seminars, a lack of an Advanced curriculum to analyze the numbers
and a desire to start something new; the course was born. After a year of
outlines, trials, rewrites, multimedia testing and feedback, the first class was
launched at Comerica Bank in Texas during October of 1994.
Intermediate ABL Auditing is in its eigth generation of multimedia presentation
and now incorporates the advanced electronic data analysis as the first day.
Course content and case studies are revised after each class to hone the focus
on intermediate to advanced skills.
Students are taught to look at the numbers and analyze trends. The focus
is:
-
Analysis of numbers
-
Professional Judgment
-
Electronic Data gathering
-
Risk analysis of when to
do more testing
-
Danger signs and extended
tests to combat willful misconduct
-
Advanced testing
techniques
-
Speed tips to get more
done faster
Benefits of This Course
We believe that borrowers are smarter than ever and the possibility of willful
misconduct increases with adverse conditions. These factors make a well
trained staff a priority. Students learn the professional judgment skills
and testing techniques to help safeguard assets and enhance a standard workpaper
format. Critical thinking skills, fraud cases, the relationship of key
numbers and real-world analysis techniques are emphasized. Computers can
enhance appearance, speed analytical time and help to test conditions, but a
trained mind is needed to spot adverse trends and dig deeper when needed.
Intermediate ABL Audit Seminar provides the skills and techniques to enhance
field examiner performance. Combined, these skills can reduce asset
exposure, help to prevent booking poor quality credits, reduce write-offs and
cut field time.
Course
Requirements
This is not a beginners course. Students should have at
least 6 months of practical ABL field experience or at least one prior year of
public accounting or internal audit experience. Besides a willingness to
learn and a calculator, the course demands attention to detail and a personal
goal of striving to do the best job possible. The DATA portion on day one
requires a laptop PC and Excel.
