The Art of Internal Audit Report Writing

Audit Reports can significantly lose their effectiveness if not written professionally with a focused purpose.

Communication for the auditor is a fine art and, once perfected, can take on more importance than the audit itself. One of the primary responsibilities of the internal audit function is to communicate the need for the audited area to changed, based upon an assessment of risk and controls.

Persuasive communication is an essential skill for all auditors. Each internal audit activity carries with it the need to objectively communicate and operate within the elements of change. The auditor's communication skills start with an understanding of the objectives of the audit stakeholders. The auditor must use both oral and written communications to move the organization to more effectively manage all relevant risks.

This seminar addresses the core elements to understand and define the objectives of the audit area and communicate the internal controls that are designed and operating effectively, as well as those that require improvement. Improving controls requires organizational change. True change can occur when the audit function operates within the following elements: urgency, power, vision, open communications, openness to change, win-win goals and institutionalization of new behaviors.

Auditors will come out of this training with better oral and written communication skills. The presentation covers all types and levels of internal audit reporting. By participating in this course, auditors in all sectors and at all levels will learn the components of communicating an effective audit finding.
