Our tagline reads: Top-notch Internal Auditors | World Class Audit Functions. This podcast discusses topics for internal auditors, regardless of where they are in their career.
Top-notch internal auditors – How do we up our performance as an internal audit professional? First, we master the craft. We do this through reading, training and interacting with peers, coaches and mentors. Then we master the other skills that all professionals must have – business acumen and maturity; verbal and written communication skills; management and leadership. Finally we have to stay in it to win it. That means putting ourselves in the right place and being ready to deliver. Managing our careers and maintaining our health are a must, if we are to succeed.
World-class internal audit functions – How do we get to world-class? How do we know when we're world-class? And more importantly how do we stay world-class? It may seem cliché, world-class is not a destination but a journey. It requires continued diligence, constant improvement, and regular reinvention. The Chief Audit Executive can target world-class but he or she should never declare arrival. Leave that to the stakeholders and the QAR Auditors. When you're focused on getting better you’re insured you are on the right path. Always keep quality in the mind of your auditors and it will weave into the fabric that make’s your department’s sub-culture.
