The Psychology Behind Great Internal Auditors (Psychologie Interner Revisorinnen und Revisoren)

Allgemein - Grundstufe

Beschreibung

What does it take to excel as an internal auditor — and how can audit leaders build teams that are not only technically strong, but psychologically resilient?

This interactive seminar explores the human side of internal auditing - mindset and personality traits that distinguish outstanding auditors - and offers practical tools for identifying and developing them. Participants will gain insight into the psychological dynamics that shape audit interactions — understanding why auditees resist, how to build trust, and how to adapt their communication style to different personalities. Through self-assessment, group case studies, and peer exchange, participants will leave with concrete strategies to strengthen their own resilience, reduce friction in audit engagements, and create a team culture where people genuinely thrive.
