As an Internal Audit Director at Addis Ababa City Administration Industry Development Bureau in Ethiopia, with over a year of experience in the field, I found that the Basics of Auditing course on Udemy aligns well with my current role and responsibilities. My practical experience in auditing within the organization has provided me with a solid foundation in the field, and I believe that this course will complement and enhance my existing skills and knowledge. I am eager to further develop my expertise in auditing through this course and apply the learnings to my work at the bureau, ultimately contributing to the improvement of our internal audit processes.

ROTFL - EVERYTHING you could want to know about auditing - in INDIA!!! What a farce. This was not disclosed in the course overview. It is based on auditing standards in INDIA - not the good ole USofA. Even given that, it is not well organized, rambles around, and very lightweight. Not much use.

The presentation was clear and understandable. The presenter was able to keep my attention. There were no surprises, the title of the course says it all. The course is Introductory/Basic. Thanks for putting together this course.

Overall it's a good course but I had the feeling that instructor relied too much on his presentations like if he was sometimes just reading them. Anway mr Raja is one of the best instructors on the site.
By Mujahid Akram on 3/2/2015
This is really helpful introduction to the Auditing. Specially if you're planning to take auditing as your major or adopting it as profession. It just needs to be a little bit more detailed. Types of audit should have made it a 5 star course. Still helpful
