How can the internal auditor communicate with the entire set of stakeholders?

A significant amount of time is committed to any internal audit and communicating the results.

Effective communication of audit results helps foster a constructive relationship between management and internal audit, increases the rate of resolution of observations and recommendations, and improves efficiency of the internal audit department. For management, reports serve as a window into daily operations, a means to evaluate operating performance, a source of objective information about controls and operations, and as a facilitator for gaining support of upper management for issues requiring attention.

For internal auditors, reports enable audit follow-up, provide a means to teach and train audit staff, summarize results of audit work and support the auditor's performance evaluation.

The goal of effective reporting is to help ensure stakeholders' understanding of the issues, the risk and impact to operations and to share practical solutions. This can be achieved by implementing simple best practices.
