This session will explore strategies and ideas for identifying and communicating with key audit stakeholders throughout the audit process. In addition to focusing on the concepts of managing stakeholder expectations and risk appetite, the session will also identify tactics and methods for effectively engaging key stakeholders, such as elected officials, government department heads and staff, external audit committees, the media, and citizens, to ensure audit visibility and impact. The session will highlight the use of a “real-time” auditing approach as an innovating example for how to effectively engage key stakeholders.
