Making the transition from audit manager to responsible individual (RI) is a challenging one. A different set of competencies needs to be developed and the process needs to be handled carefully, both by the individual and the firm. This seminar highlights the practical steps to take to ensure that the progression is smooth and successful. It is crucial viewing for new and aspiring RIs - and those who manage them:

• The application process – key tips and traps
• Managing the transition – clients, mentoring, key checks and balances
• Key decisions required of RIs – and how to approach them
• What ‘professional scepticism’ means and where new RIs can fall short of the mark
• Areas of the audit where the RI needs to be hands-on – and what they need to document
• Managing the team effectively – not too much; not too little
