The GAO’s Green Book – Video Course

Description

The GAO’s Green Book –Video Course includes an online video and self study e-book for 2 hours of CPE credit.

The GAO Green Book sets standards for internal controls that align with the most popular control model in the United States, the COSO model. In this course, we use a simple case study to build controls from scratch. Along the way, we learn the five components of control and their seventeen underlying principles.

The Green Book is referenced inside the Yellow Book and in the Uniform Guidance. The new internal control requirements for performance auditors per the 2018 Yellow Book are discussed.

This course is filled with stories, analogies, and practical advice that brings the standards to life.
