Negotiating While Auditing

Course Overview

Everything is negotiable.
Even when auditing.
I’ll give you a moment to get over the initial shock of that statement.

Don’t believe me, we negotiate some of the following based on our budget, time and knowledge:

  • Audit coverage based on our audit budget
  • Scope of audits based on the time available
  • Issues reported due to compromises with clients

Learning to negotiate with colleagues and clients can help auditors

  • Keep conflicts at bay
    • The right negotiation skills help you avoid conflicts by addressing diplomatically
  • Get the best “value” for your organization and department
    • Negotiations are about getting the best for both parties
  • Build better relationships
    • Negotiations require conversations which can lead to better relationships
