Writing Techniques for Auditors and Risk Management Professionals

Writing techniques for Auditors and Risk Management professionals focus on the construction of the writing argument. By understanding the different approaches to gathering and aggregating data, analysis, and results from conversations and tests, the writer becomes the vehicle of communication for senior management. This webinar provides clear guidance on how to translate information into influential thought presented in reports, memos, or whitepapers.

The advent of technological communication tools has highlighted the need for enhanced and improved communication skills. Because Auditor's and Risk Manager's success is reliant on their ability to persuade a change in organizations, the ability to write convincing arguments is necessary. One will not be successful without translating various types of data into a written missive that persuades, convinces, or simply educates.
