IFRS, Internal Audit, Financial Management and Soft Skills

A global, innovative organization involved in technologically advanced exploration, mining, and smelting operations.

The entire finance function of around 300 people, including our client’s internal audit function, was looking for ideas, assistance and resources in talent training to meet the challenges of the modern world. Any investment in these areas was to be cost-effective.

The course was to be divided into modules and was to cover approximately 10 months per group of participants and take place every year.

EY Academy of Business developed a specific programme in IFRS, Financial Management and Analysis, Internal Audit and relevant Leadership Soft Skills. The programme was structured in such a way that participants could progress through it in a methodical way to help their career development.

The methodology was based on an interactive and practical training course based on real case studies and adapted to the needs of each group of participants.

The materials developed were not only rich in content but also designed for self-study, containing key learning points, summaries, illustrations and examples as well as full case study solutions. Progress tests ensured that knowledge and skills were assimilated and participants could use these materials as a reference during and after the courses.

The programme for each group spans over 10 months and a final examination at the end awards successful participants the EY Academy of Business Diploma in Finance.

It is now the 10th year that we are providing these services.
