Ask Better Questions, Get Better Answers, Perform Better Audits!
“SPIN” Selling the Audit with Improved Communication Skills
How do you really ask questions and get to the facts in the audit fieldwork interviewing process? Do you struggle with asking clients the right questions?
Inquiry and observation are two of the most important internal auditing skills. The ability to ask appropriate questions is powerful. Curiosity is the cornerstone of internal auditing; it requires auditors to ask a lot of questions. Continuously questioning clients is difficult.
