Course Overview

Assurance Reviews for Budget Execution and Performance provides a rigorous approach to assurance reviews during budget execution and performance monitoring, integrating proven assurance methods with practical tools. Delegates learn to plan, test and evidence quality across the budgeting lifecycle—from planning and modelling to execution and reporting.
