Effective Interviewing for Internal Auditors

Internal auditors have a great eye for detail and are highly skilled at reviewing data. But when it comes to interviews, their experience is usually built from studying interviews performed by other internal auditors. With interviews playing such a pivotal role in identifying control failures and fraud, focused training in interviewing techniques is vital to successfully executing an internal audit review.

This course will help internal auditors work at their own pace and schedule to develop skills in drawing out vital information and understanding the physical and verbal cues that indicate the omission of facts or outright deception in an interview.
