Communicating Audit Results: The Internal Auditor's Report Writing Process (WRIT) This one-day course, for all auditors involved in any aspect of report writing, concentrates primarily on the internal audit report writing "process." It addresses the following issues: - What is the auditor’s “call” in the audit report? - Who should prepare the first draft of the report? - Should there be a standard report? What should it say? What should it not say? - Who should review the report draft? - Who should "sign-oft" on the final report? - What should an "audit finding" contain? o Condition o Criteria o Effect o Cause o Recommendation - Should the same report be sent to the audit committee and the local management? - What should be done to follow-up on recommendations? This course provides an overview of an effective report writing process and illustrates examples of "good" reports. Participants will obtain tools they can put to use on the job. Participants can use this course to immediately improve their report writing activities. It is valuable for providing immediate, successful results. Some prefer to discuss and re-write their own audit reports in class. They prefer a one and one-half or two-day course, which is also available.
