    Audit Beliefs

    Before I come on-site, you should know some things about my audit views. These are at the core of all my work.

    I believe:

    • Internal controls are things managers put in place to help workers achieve business objectives.
    • There's no such thing as a "good audit finding".
    • The best audit report is no audit report - as in, Everything Was OK!
    • Everything internal auditors do should help reduce the need for after-the-fact reviews.
    • Recommendations don't add value. Implementation does.
    • People doing the work always know more than those reviewing their work.
    • In the future, great auditors must be great facilitators.

    I also believe training should be fun!

    • Participants learn more when it’s fun.
    • Fun makes everyone more creative.
    • Having fun is good for auditors.
    • Boring training is really boring!
    Want to know why I believe these things? Give me a call.
