I've had auditors send out audit notification letters, even conduct pre-audit conferences via phone. Then, they never call back or call/email to to sting along the audit. In general, I only sign waivers on audits that are at least progressing beyond the initial documentation request. However, my issues come up after the first few informations requests are fulfilled. Auditors seem to lose steam. To minimize this I have begun to set up regular status meetings. It seems to have worked so far in that auditors generally make progress within a week or two after these calls. Have to keep doing this as they lose steam again, and again, and again.... http://www.theiia.org/intAuditor/feature-articles/2012/april/foundation-for-success/2012-04-12Gary, I totally agree with you. I have been an internal auditor for 20+ years for several companies. I have never been bored with my job. The training and experience provide me with a good understanding of business processes/systems and risks which I believe can be easily transferrable should I pick up new responsibilites.
