Critical Thinking in Report Writing and Recommendations
Field: Auditing | Delivery Method: Self Study | CPE Hours: 1.0
One of the biggest challenges internal audit has is not looking at the root cause analysis and thinking critically when making recommendations and writing reports. In this Audit Discussion I speak with Sara I. James about how auditors can think more critically and things to consider like: is my argument based on the facts, am I using primary or secondary evidence, what do I really know, am I curious or am I allowing biases and assumptions to creep into my work? We delve into what has caused critical thinking skills to be the biggest skills gap in internal audit and what you can do to improve your critical thinking skills.
