The Art of Internal Audit Report Writing Seminar

Audit Reports can significantly lose their effect if not written professionally.

Writing an audit report is a fine art and, once perfected, can take on more importance than the audit itself. The audit is nearly complete and now it is time to write the report. For most auditors this is the most tedious part of the audit process.

In this highly interactive seminar, you will learn how to eliminate the administrative burden of writing reports and produce reports that are easy to write, easy to read, and easy to understand.

We will cover "The Magnificent Seven of Audit Report Writing":

1. Identify the significant audit risks in order of priority

2. Separate the wheat from the chaff

3. Know your audience

4. Use a clear, consistent, understandable writing style

5. Set the tone given the severity of findings

6. Draw the reader into the report

7. Add value by implementing positive change

This timely, one-day seminar is designed for internal auditors and others who have to create effective business and audit reports.

Cost of this seminar is $695/Attendee. Each attendee will receive 8 hours of CPE credit. To reserve your space click on the Sign-up Now and fill out a registration form and use a Buy Now Button to pay the fees.
