ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Internal Auditors are not just checkers—they are change enablers. Yet, they often face resistance, delays, or deflection when highlighting risks. This program empowers auditors to drive action through confident, data-backed communication. Participants learn how to escalate without friction, influence without manipulation, and audit with impact. Through real-world cases, language tools, and psychological frameworks, the session transforms how audit communication is framed, delivered, and received.
