Description

Audits involve testing, review, examination, and verification. However on another level - we audit procedures, reports at work, who fulfilled commitments, systems, other people's driving skills, deliveries, etc. We all audit everything all the time and that is wonderful. Auditing skills are valuable and necessary for our professional success and personal happiness. Every professional will audit what they encounter, including us. In this course, we will illustrate how continuous auditing skills are valuable, all the time. Whether you are an auditor or not, our role as a business leader IS to audit continuously! Better leaders have these audit skills.
