Reviews

4.6

The change management scenario felt realistic, and the walkthrough examples showed clearly how one missing probing question can let an IT risk slip through. Comparing my own question list against the model answers was the most useful part, and I liked how my mathematics background connected to audit sampling and control testing.

I liked that the simulation was interactive and practical. It helped me understand how effective probing questions, active listening, constructive feedback, and teamwork can improve the quality of a review. I also liked that the scenarios were realistic and showed how small communication mistakes can affect the effectiveness of a process or control.
