Course Overview

Warren Buffett once said, "You can have all the brainpower in the world, but you must be able to transmit it. If you can't communicate, it's like waving at someone in the dark — nothing happens." 

As Buffett points out, the success of your career depends on the quality of your communication. 

In this podcast, Ryan Standil, the owner of Write To Excite, and Arun Mathur, the owner of UltimQuest Knowledge, will share their expertise. Ryan, a seasoned writing instructor, and Arun, with over 40 years of experience as an auditor and trainer, will provide practical strategies to enhance your writing skills as an audit professional.

In the auditing field, where technical concepts abound, miscommunications are all too common in both oral and written forms. As auditors, effective writing presents a significant challenge due to the diverse backgrounds of our readers. Each day, we navigate conversations with fellow auditors, colleagues from various departments, and members of the public, all with differing levels of expertise. It's not just a skill; it's an essential tool in our daily work.

By crafting emails and documentation that resonate with clients and colleagues, you'll not only increase the likelihood of their approval but also pave the way for significant practice growth and career advancement. Join this CPE podcast as we explore the art of effective communication in auditing, empowering you to excel in your profession.
