Legislators, public officials, and others rely on audits to help ensure compliance with authoritative requirements. In this course, students will learn the purpose and practice of compliance auditing in the federal environment, including how compliance audits differ from traditional performance audits and when a compliance audit may or may not be appropriate.

The course introduces the major types of compliance audits that may be conducted, such as audits of regulatory requirements, contract and grant agreements, quality standards, and internal procedures and controls. Students will also examine what auditors may do when an authoritative requirement is not producing the intended results.

Because the Federal Government has many areas of risk where compliance audits are performed, this course focuses on the primary areas in which most federal compliance audits are conducted, including federal appropriations, federal contracts, federal IT and FISMA, and federal financial and budget compliance. Through hands-on case study exercises and knowledge checks, students will practice a step-by-step process for planning, conducting, and reporting compliance audits, and will learn how compliance findings may differ from findings in traditional performance audits.
