I can't support this anymore. Considering the ownership of this site, I cannot be a part of it. I will no longer be posting. You can find my thoughts on LinkedIn. #adios

It is just as important to say "no" as to say "yes"...just a little harder. #audit #internalaudit #security #leadership https://t.co/wvhBgFY4dW

In good reporting, you never see the reporter. In good audit reports, you should never see the department. Get the "me" out of your reports and focus on the important information. #audit #internalaudit #auditreports #reports

The overwhelming consensus seems to be that you should find the job you love. If you're lucky, yes. But the real objective should be to find what you can love in the job you have. #audit #internalaudit #workingenvironment #satisfaction https://t.co/TWQGgWPJTq

Internal Auditors always want more information to feel secure in whatever they are trying to do. Yet, is more information better? And is it the right information? #audit #internalaudit #dataanalysis #information https://t.co/Sm8m378uCZ

Internal auditors must be in the room when important decisions are being made. A song from Hamilton helps drive that point home. #audit #internaudit #communication #leadership

An experiment in internal audit reporting and accountability that is worth resurrecting. #internalauditing #audit #reportwriting #accountability https://t.co/l3xDH2v7II

What should we call the people with which we work? Clients, customers, those guys over there? I ask the question and have no answers. What are your thoughts? #audit #internalaudit #client #customers https://t.co/peTMGtRLd7

@CeciliaSepp invited Bryant Richards and me to be on her Radio Free 501c podcast. Her suggested title? “Will AI Eat My Lunch”. Perfect, a topic we've been working on. Listen and enjoy. #audit #AI #automation #internalaudit https://t.co/WQ9nE1k5Tl

We use big words thinking it makes us sound smart. It doesn't. #internalaudit #audit #reportwriting #communication https://t.co/QkSiDrJ0hX

Too often we hire to hire rather than having a strategy for hiring, let alone applying that strategy in the hiring process. #audit #interrnalaudit #hiring #humanresources https://t.co/jmzr2843P7

The most important thing is NOT how people spend their time, it is if and how they get the work done. #audit #internalaudit #empowerment #leadership

Courage is a commodity that seems to be in short supply. And yet, none of us are anything without it. And this is just as true, if not more so, for internal audit. #internalaudit #audit #courage #integrity https://t.co/BFdCdObdXH

[Mike Jacka @figre]

What does "stay in your lane" mean for anyone, particularly #internalaudit ? It is just code for "mind your own business," "keep away," and accept the status quo. And accepting it means accepting mediocrity. #audit #creativity #innovation https://t.co/WKGQWBFVg9

[Mike Jacka @figre]

It's time to face the truth. In the business world, internal auditors are second-class citizens. And it's time to do something about it. #audit #internalaudit https://t.co/7ebdyaIxSN

Where is internal audit going? I don't know; you don't know. But never forget that we can still help it head the direction we want/need it to go. #internalaudit #audit #FutureOfWork https://t.co/O9tTB07Ifh

How can you sell #internalaudit if you don't know what you are selling? Or, more importantly, what the clients want to buy #audit #marketing #value #mission https://t.co/a9X8NS6FNk

[Mike Jacka @figre]

(Made the cover of Internal Auditor magazine!) An approach all #internalaudit shops should consider - a framework for how auditors and the department can move forward with the future rather than in spite of it. #AI #employability #automation https://t.co/frKNaknxQW

As with all things in life, the success of any #internalaudit department hinges on successful #relationships. Amazing how many departments forget this. #audit #customerservice https://t.co/P15i5l5wGf

[Mike Jacka @figre]

People won't just tell you what is wrong. You must ask questions that lead to such revelations. And this is true for any stage of the #internalaudit process, anyone within internal audit, and clients at any level - CEO to clerk. #audit #communication https://t.co/U9y5hz3wQO
