Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Organisations increasingly rely on cloud platforms, software services and outsourced providers for critical processes and data. While these arrangements bring flexibility and efficiency, they also shift risks outside the organisation's direct control, raising questions about security, resilience, data location, regulatory compliance and contractual protection.
This Auditing Cloud Services and Outsourced Operations training course prepares auditors to provide assurance over third-party delivered services. Participants learn about cloud service and deployment models, the shared responsibility model, governance of outsourcing, contract and service level review, reliance on independent assurance reports and testing of the controls retained by the organisation.
The course combines technical explanation in clear language with practical audit programmes and exercises that can be applied immediately.
