As the old saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
It hasn’t changed in the current digital age, either, as readers’ eyes often focus on the visuals in audit reports first before the correlating text.
The strategic combination of government audit, data analysis and use of visuals resulted in a newsworthy (Denver Post, CNN) and Knighton Award Winning (Association of Local Government Auditors) audit report on 911 Response Times.
In this 2-hour webinar, learn the best practices for creating and using visuals based on the audit data in your reports. Your readers will thank you for providing easy-to-find and more impactful data in lieu of just straight text. Who knows? Maybe your audit team will win that next award!
Register today and get a head start on the competition.

Marcus Garrett, CIA
After surviving the mean streets of the inner suburbs in the Great State of Texas, Mr. Garrett obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and work experience as a Certified Internal Auditor, Financial and Data Analyst.
