Critical Thinking: Improving Audit Results

Field: Auditing | Delivery Method: Self Study | CPE Hours: 0.5

As internal auditors, we are expected to exercise professional skepticism and think critically, and we are also subject to the same decision-making pitfalls as others.

Most people allow their biases to cloud cognitive reasoning and engage in other activities that lower cognitive abilities, without us actually realizing it. Unless we place awareness on this and use some practical ways to increase our critical thinking skills, we risk making less than optimal conclusions and decisions.

In this video I share some practical ways you can avoid some of the classic pitfalls, increase the quality of your decision making, and provide better audit results to your organization.
