Writing Effective Audit Reports
2011-10-07
Internal auditors have an admirable story to tell, one that deserves to be told often and in the right places. Through reports, internal auditors have an opportunity to get management’s complete attention. That is how auditors should regard reporting – as an opportunity, not a dreary drudgery – a perfect occasion to show management how auditors can help and add value to the organization.
Much too often, auditors clearly throw away this golden chance to open management’s eyes, to show management what they have accomplished and what they can accomplish, to explain what management needs to know and what it needs to know. Therefore, internal auditors should regard reports in the same light that a salesman regards an opportunity to present his or her products: an opening for a well-rehearsed, well-tested, well-conceived presentation.
Through team exercises, group discussions, case studies, and lectures, attendees will learn and apply skills in writing effective audit reports. This program will help auditors to gain knowledge and apply the guidelines and techniques, and use examples to choose the appropriate substance, organization, tone and style of each report.
