Why do this?

Would you like to take advice from someone who doesn’t listen to you or care about what you want?

No, neither would I!

Unfortunately, that’s how the readers often feel when they struggle to read most audit reports!

Disengaging cookie-cutter content, a bucketful of confusing detail spilled out in paragraph-long sentences; unclear recommendations; and a weird perspective which doesn’t seem to recognise their business challenges.

This is NEVER going to work!

When your readers read your report, they should instantly see that you have been listening and that you care about them. If not, why the HELL would they want to take YOUR advice!

If you want to learn how to do this, ELIMINATING THE TOP 5 AUDIT REPORT TURN-OFFS will be 60-minutes of your time very well spent!

What will you get?

ELIMINATING THE TOP 5 AUDIT REPORT TURN-OFFS is an Audit Communication live, virtual learning programme for Internal Auditors.

The key learning will be delivered via a practical, engaging and fully interactive 60-minute Live Learning Webinar backed up with clear, real-life examples and practical tips.

It will help you to increase your chances of getting your readers to read your audit reports and buy-in to your message by leveraging their psychology and speaking their language. In so doing, you will also increase the impact of your reports while enhancing your credibility, authority and value.

In addition, you will get a Certificate of Attendance and comprehensive set of note slides to future-proof the learning after the session!

How can you be sure that you avoid the most common complication trap (which MOST auditors fall into) when writing up your Detailed Findings?

What do our clients say?

I expected the ESSENTIAL AUDIT REPORT WRITING learning programme to be a very dry and theoretical course with instructions on how we write reports in Vodafone.

But to tell you the truth, I came home and I said to my wife: “Susan, today I’ve had the most amazing training I’ve ever had!” – and I’ve had some great training!

The training was fantastic – the difference being that the trainer really knew how to bring the message across. The training was very interactive. It not only taught me how to write in the most efficient and professional way but also how to make a powerful connection with my readers.

All in all, I not only learnt how to write reports, but I also learnt how to communicate effectively; which I think is the key. That was the real added value of this learning programme.

I think that the topic of report writing is absolutely crucial and, to be honest, I thought that it could not be taught. Writing skills are learnt through on-the-job experience and they are not an easy skill to acquire. ESSENTIAL AUDIT REPORT WRITING completely changed my opinion on this; and now I’m applying all of my efforts to use all of the writing techniques which I learnt in this learning programme.

But this training offered so much more than just report writing techniques. We learnt so much about the wider subject of effective communication. It’s essential to understand what your stakeholders want to see in your reports and to fulfil these requirements. This is a big part of our mission and the learning programme really helped me with this.

I immediately recommended this learning programme to my line manager and to our Country Head. I told them: “You must participate in this training because I’m now going to be using these great report writing techniques which you’re not even aware of.”
