Can anybody recommend a good (preferably free) resource to learn more about audit?

My whole career has been industry and I recently accepted a position in Internal Audit to expand my skillset.

Are you working in industry or public accounting? If the later, they should have internal resources.

If external, you can consider IIA resources if you’re a member. An additional option is LinkedIn Learning app. You can get a thirty day free trial and then cancel.

On the job learning is pretty key - that’s how I learned. I’ll give this some more thought and see what other resources I think of.

Also feel free to DM with specific questions.

I feel so behind my colleagues since I don't have an audit background. My background consists of staff accountant jobs (I would help prepare the SEC filings which is how I earned the experience part of the CPA requirement), Cost Accounting, and a corporate finance position.
