Book Review: Internal Audit Training from Patton Press

[John Powell]

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience in using "Internal Auditing Made Easy" video and guide from Paton Press?
If so is this a good training tool to show existing internal auditors?
Thanks for your help.

John:

I just ordered "Internal Auditing Basics" from them. I'll let you know in about a week.

I've got their "Sailing Through Six Sigma" packaged. Ordered both the book and CD last summer. Got the book in the Fall....cd was on backorder and was to arrive late Fall. Christmas rolled around and still no cd. (the book, btw, references a lot on the cd...so I didn't want to start the book without it). Called up and spoke with an actual Paton! Found out, we had slipped through the cracks...it was going to be mailed to me. Early February rolls around...still no cd. Called up again. Don't know what happened to the one that was supposed going to be mailed to me (nothing in the system). They were going to mail me a cd...again. Finally got it a few days ago.

As far as their reading material goes, looks like it is written in a language we can all understand. But their level of Customer Service though.....

Randy, can you do it for $295.

That'll take care of the 1st 3 hours. What about the rest?

Hi,
Al have you used the training tape yet? Or does anyone else have a recommendation?
I was thinking about having someone come on-site and perform the training, but I wanted info on this first, trying to keep costs down.

I have not used the materials you speak of so i cannot comment on that. I will say that if you feel confident in your auditing abilities/knowledge that rather than hiring someone to come in and train you that you develope the training yourself. JMHO
