Writing Clear, Objective Audit Reports

Writing audit reports that give management the necessary insight to make decisions.

An organization can only correct and refine its performance with the help of meticulous, objective audits. Without the insight that audit reports provide, management can’t address problems because it can’t see them. It isn’t enough to shovel data into a document and put it in front of decision makers. To serve their purpose, findings have to be well structured and presented clearly.
