Audit 2020: Keys to Becoming A Trusted Advisor

With the Institute of Internal Auditors and many industry watch groups expressing a desire that auditors become trusted advisors, this webinar is designed to address that very concern. Focused on modifying the audit approach so that the auditor or audit team can exhibit the knowledge, insight, and contribution to the organization, participants will learn about skills necessary to be an advisor and the use of a new audit tool, which allows one to demonstrate those skills in a tangible manner.

• Develop a new way to share comparative analysis

The cutting edge approach to audit will be discussed and explained to a degree that will allow anyone to convert today’s practices into tomorrow’s audit approach.
