Courses in Auditing

Auditing is the function that verifies the reliability of financial information and the effectiveness of an organisation's control systems. Master's programmes in Auditing train professionals able to carry out financial audits and internal audits, assess risks and contribute to transparency and trust towards investors, shareholders and stakeholders.

The programmes include statutory audit, auditing standards (ISA Italia), internal audit, internal control systems and risk management, compliance and Legislative Decree 231 organisational models, anti-money laundering, corporate fraud, information systems audit, sustainability report assurance, corporate governance and financial statement analysis. Lessons combine theory, audit engagement simulations and testimonials from partners of audit firms and heads of internal audit.

A master's in Auditing lets you develop skills in planning and carrying out an audit, analysing processes, identifying anomalies and fraud, writing audit reports and communicating with management and supervisory bodies. You learn to maintain independence and professional scepticism, distinctive qualities of a good auditor.

Career opportunities include statutory auditor, auditor, internal auditor, head of internal audit, risk and compliance manager, anti-money laundering expert, forensic accountant, internal control consultant, statutory board member and governance analyst. Opportunities exist in audit firms, companies and groups, banks, insurance companies, consulting firms, public bodies and supervisory authorities. Practising statutory audit requires registration in the register of auditors and passing the qualifying exam, for which some master's programmes can prepare you.

Growing regulatory complexity and attention to fraud and sustainability risks have made auditing an in-demand profession with excellent career prospects.

Many programmes offer internships at audit firms and internal audit functions, a fundamental step for starting a professional career.
