My best videos are on internal audit communications
I recently recorded two very short videos. I especially like the second.
I welcome your comments?
Do you agree? Will you change your organization’s audit reporting?

Thanks Norman. Your insights show a very true, and current view of reality, of what really happens on the ground. Many professionals just don’t have certain soft (and technical) skills which are required to perform such important roles such as Audit or Risk Management. Or, sometimes, they are just too biased with the trees and unable to see the forest. In my opinions, the bilateral aspect of communication is absolutely critical for Board members to get what they expect, as well as fundamental for helping build good quality management reports, not just long lists flagging deficiencies.
Thanks again.

Excellent Norman – as a CEO and Chairman of Boards I always engaged my Audit team in such conversations. Like all people working close to the front line of the business they have valuable insights for management, which as you say, while the recommendation is not always 100 % correct it open up a dialogue to enable the company to benefit.
