Testimonials“It was great, very engaging and the format was really good for virtual learning – very dynamic.” “The course was lively and highly informative. The use of real-life scenarios/examples made it easier to relate course contents to actual performance auditing.” “The course content allowed me to better understand the basics and elements to consider in performance auditing. The real-life examples mentioned throughout the course illustrate the reality in the field during the execution of a mandate. I also liked the fact that there were comparisons of the ways of doing things between the Government of Canada - Government of Quebec - Municipalities – etc.” |
