 mes, PhD, CIA Owner, Getting Words to Work®\n\nInternal audit reports 
 continue to be the most common way to communicate final engagement res
 ults. However, the Standards have never mandated reports as the medium
 . The 2024 Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS) and The 2025 Global 
 Practice Guide on Final Engagement Communications make clear that inte
 rnal auditors must focus on effective communication throughout engagem
 ents to deliver value to clients.\n\nThis session will touch on enduri
 ng principles of effective communication, significant points arising f
 rom the GIAS and the Global Practice Guide, and the growing use of LLM
 s.\n\nThis session is led by Sara I. James, who is an internal auditor
  and a professional freelance writer and editor. She was the copyedito
 r of the GIAS and was part of the working group for the Final Engageme
 nt Communications Global Practice Guide.\n\nKey learning objectives fo
 r this session:\n - Understand the principles of critical thinking and
  plain language, and how they relate to internal audit communications.
 \n - Refresh the GIAS and Final Engagement Communications Global Pract
 ice Guide content to comply with IIA Global expectations.\n - Evaluate
  the pros and cons of LLMs in drafting internal audit communications.\
