Field of study: Communications
In 2016, the IIA Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK) Practitioner Study highlighted the most important skills CAE’s are looking for in the report, “The Top 7 Skills CAE’s Want: Building the Right Mix of Talent for Your Organization” (see Exhibit 1). Critical thinking and communication have consistently been rated as the top skills for audit success.
People-Centric Skills was initially published in 2014 as the first publication to tackle the wide-ranging topic of communications skills for internal auditors. Due to its popularity, People-Centric Skills, 2nd Edition, will tackle the next-level of communication skills.
