What People Say About This Seminar
“I thought that this a great class for beginners and people that have been auditing for a while. It will help with breaking some bad habits from canned audits and SALY’s modes.” – Virtual Audit Bootcamp participant
“This government auditing course was an excellent overview of the Yellowbook standards with practical application examples and exercises that encouraged understandability and reinforcement of concepts…This course was incredibly useful for new auditors and experienced auditors alike, who may need a refresher, or, who like me, have transitioned to government auditing after years in public accounting exclusively performing financial statement audits. Leita is a true expert in this subject matter and I really appreciated her teaching style…Thank you so much for a great and valuable experience!” – CPA in Public Practice
“Thank you for making what I thought was going to be boring, over-my-head, and above my experience level a lot of fun and very understandable and beneficial for all levels. Thank you!” – Virtual Audit Bootcamp participant
“I loved this course! I signed up to try and learn how to make a workpaper. Ended with feeling like I could actually help my audit team (I’m an administrative assistant so I had zero knowledge about auditing before this!) Leita taught me in a week what the IIA’s material couldn’t teach me at ALL. This was so worth it!” – Audit Office Administrator
“Changes that have been made and possibly will be made to the Yellow Book (were covered). Since I last audited in a governmental organization, the Green Book has happened. I was pleased to get an overview of it compared to COSO that I have used (and taught).” – Virtual Audit Bootcamp participant
“I felt very engaged throughout the entire course. Thank you for doing what you do! I really feel like I took a lot out of this course.” – State Auditor
“I am a brand-new auditor with only 6 months’ experience. I learned more this week than I have in the past 6 months. [The slides were] very helpful for information retention. I enjoyed Leita’s teaching style of knowledge mixed with humor!” – State Internal Auditor
“What did you learn? I think just trying not to be a machine auditor and really think through the steps and what we are trying to achieve.” – Virtual Audit Bootcamp participant
