Description
This course is about providing you with specific steps you can implement immediately to make your Internal Audit Report attractive. I will share with you real life experience collected during 20 years of auditing and issuing the Audit Reports.
Attractivity of the Audit Report is much broader term then design or layout of the Audit Report. The Audit Report must include aspects that the readers of the Audit Reports are looking for. They need to read number of different reports and you do not want your Report to be just the next boring report in a row.
Remember that you and your work are assessed through the Internal Audit Report you issue.
This course will help you "sell" your audit work done and at the same time meet the expectations of your key stakeholders (Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Supervisory Board, Regulator, etc.). Do you know what their expectation is? You will find out during this course.
You want your Audit Report to be attractive because very often it is the only output of your audit work being provided outside the Internal Audit department and if your Audit Report is poor the readers of the Report may conclude that your work behind the Report is poor as well. You do not want to create such an impression.
During this course I will cover:
Audit Report as a Product of Internal Audit
How to Demonstrate Strategic Thinking
Objective and Balanced Audit Report
Length of the Audit Report
Clarity and Content of the Audit Report
Scope of Audit
Management Summary
Background Section
Findings and Risk Rating of the Findings
