Reporting with Impact – Virtual Seminar

$295.45 - $400.00
Are we communicating the results from our work effectively?
Surveys of our key stakeholders, such as Boards, Audit Committees and C-Suite executives, suggest that the true value of our work may be impeded by WHAT we report, and HOW we report it. This seminar will tackle that challenge.
This seminar is designed to:
- challenge your thinking
- present some harsh truths
- provide you with a range of options to take away and consider
- provide some suggested strategies on how to determine a tailored pathway forward that will suit your situation.
- Building an Audit Communications Strategy: The seminar will provide a suggested approach on how to determine a tailored pathway forward that will suit your situation.
Topics covered:
- Traditional Reporting: Participants will gain an understanding of the evolution of the hard-from written report, its strengths and its limitations
- The Viewpoint from Stakeholders: Participants will gain an understanding of the views of stakeholders, their needs and how that can influence our communication choices
- Defining Effective Communication: Participants will gain an understanding of what effective communications really means, how to judge it, and how that can influence our communication choices
- The Data Age: Participants will gain an understanding of the trends in evidence-based communications and how that can influence our communication choices
- New Toys: Participants will gain an understanding of the range of alternate methods available, their pros and cons and will commence an evaluation of their current approach with a view to considering which alternatives might be viable
Program Outcomes:
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Make an assessment of the effectiveness of their current approaches to communicating audit results
- Identify a range of alternative approaches to communication and associated support tools
- Develop strategies to determine a tailored pathway forward that will suit your situation
You WILL leave this Seminar with a different outlook on what you communicate, and how. Most importantly you’ll have the passion and confidence to commence a journey of change that will radically reinvigorate internal auditing in your organisation!
