In this comprehensive 8-CPE deep dive in audit project practices, we’ll review of
what’s new on the auditing scene, what still works from the past, and the gaps to
close to confidently deliver our auditing services in the months and years ahead
– all with the intent of delivering in our work better than we ever have before.
Come prepared share audit project management tips, suggestions on
brainstorming risks, and how you tie planning and brainstorming results to audit
program steps. We’ll explore auditor behavior skills – creating intentional
presence and building rapport, plus better interviewing and speaking. We’ll finish
with proven actions for delivering findings and influencing management action.
 
Learning Objectives
  • Build risk brainstorming actions that cover both ‘what could go wrong’ and
‘what opportunities for improvement are being missed’
  • Discover how simply asking audit leaders three key questions allows us to
efficiently draft audit program steps
  • Explore the importance of sampling decisions during project planning
  • Understand why 50-minute live-in person planning meetings should be
required on every audit project
  • Assess the implications of both 100% virtual and hybrid audit project models
  • Develop audit program steps that build a solid bridge between project
objectives and project fieldwork execution
  • Apply the power of ‘motivational interviewing’ to initiate corrective action
during audit fieldwork
  • Identify how Intentional Shifting from presentation of observations to asking
about solutions can influence corrective actions – in every auditee or client
discussion
  • Explore how to make our recommendations ‘stick’ in management’s brains
(and influence action as a result)
