Auditors and risk management professionals are often the link between the evidence and senior management. This 60-minute audit report writing training focuses on building the written argument rather than on grammar or style.
You'll look at different ways to gather and aggregate data, design analysis that produces meaningful information, and use results from conversations and tests. You'll then learn how to convert data into arguments and structure the written message so that reports, memos and whitepapers influence decisions.
The session ends with tips for delivering your message effectively.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Auditors and risk professionals regularly have to present difficult messages and persuade others to change processes, policies or practices. Facts alone don't do that; they need to be shaped into a clear argument.
This session suits audit managers and directors, chief auditors, auditors, risk and operational risk managers, operations leaders, regulators, bank examiners, quality control staff and corporate trainers.
