Communicating with the Executive Tier

San Francisco Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Chapter Virtual Seminar

Date/time – November 13, 2024 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PST

 

Description

It is well accepted that communication skills are among the most important skillsets for an Internal Auditor. One can have great technical skills and understanding of risk and controls, but if you cannot communicate your thoughts and findings effectively you are unlikely to add significant value or garner respect. When communicating with the executive tier, those communication skills become even more amplified and are a key driver in your success and reputation, and auditors who excel in this area have the greatest potential to advance to leadership roles.

For this presentation we interviewed 25 Audit and Risk Leaders to understand what they feel are the most important considerations when presenting to the executive tier.
