Auditors and risk managers succeed when they persuade the organization to change, and that depends on writing a convincing argument. This 60-minute webinar on writing techniques for auditors and risk management professionals focuses on how that argument is built.
You'll look at different ways to gather and aggregate data, design analysis that produces meaningful information, and draw on results from conversations and tests. The session then shows how to turn that material into influential reports, memos and whitepapers for senior management, covering message construction, the human side of the message, knowing your audience, keys to writing well and the use of the Thought Document.
As technology changes how we communicate, the ability to convert data into a written message that persuades, convinces or simply informs matters more than ever.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
This session is for anyone who has to deliver difficult messages and influence changes to process, policy or practice. It is not a typical writing class: there is no grammar, sentence construction or style lesson. The focus is on facts, data and turning them into persuasion.
It suits audit managers, directors and chief auditors, auditors, risk and operational risk managers, operations leaders, regulators, bank examiners, quality control staff and corporate trainers.
