 ts&utm_medium=calendar&utm_source=brighttalk-transact\n\nPresenter: Sa
 ra I. James, PhD, CIA Owner, Getting Words to Work®\n\nInternal audit 
 reports continue to be the most common way to communicate final engage
 ment results. However, the Standards have never mandated reports as th
 e medium. The 2024 Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS) and The 2025
  Global Practice Guide on Final Engagement Communications make clear t
 hat internal auditors must focus on effective communication throughout
  engagements to deliver value to clients.\n\nThis session will touch o
 n enduring principles of effective communication, significant points a
 rising from the GIAS and the Global Practice Guide, and the growing us
 e of LLMs.\n\nThis session is led by Sara I. James, who is an internal
  auditor and a professional freelance writer and editor. She was the c
 opyeditor of the GIAS and was part of the working group for the Final 
 Engagement Communications Global Practice Guide.\n\nKey learning objec
 tives for this session:\n - Understand the principles of critical thin
 king and plain language, and how they relate to internal audit communi
 cations.\n - Refresh the GIAS and Final Engagement Communications Glob
 al Practice Guide content to comply with IIA Global expectations.\n - 
 Evaluate the pros and cons of LLMs in drafting internal audit communic
 ations.\n\n    * CPE: This is a webinar recording. Credits are not off
 ered for on-demand viewing.
