Because a great audit means nothing if no one listens.
You’ve done the work. You’ve delivered valuable audit findings.
But now comes the real challenge: getting people to care – and act.
In government auditing, influence isn’t a bonus skill. It’s essential.
If your audit reports are gathering dust or facing polite nods with no follow-up, it’s time to rethink your stakeholder strategy.
This 3-hour webinar explores how impactful stakeholder engagement and purposeful networking can amplify your audit work and increase its visibility. It may also open doors to new opportunities, from career advancement to collaborative projects. A robust professional network helps you stay informed on emerging trends, gain peer insights, and access valuable resources. This can all enhance your credibility and influence within your government agency and the broader internal audit profession.
Led by Jonathan Chapman, a seasoned advisor to senior leaders on relationship management and stakeholder strategy, this course draws from real-world experience in government audit environments. You’ll gain practical tools and immediately applicable strategies for managing complex stakeholder relationships and expanding your professional network.
Through interactive exercises, you’ll begin crafting a stakeholder management and networking approach tailored to your current challenges and career goals. Attendees will also have the chance to ask the speaker questions and receive direct guidance on strengthening their function’s influence and impact.
Learning Objectives:
- Define how effective stakeholder engagement and networking contribute to government audit success and broader organizational outcomes
- Identify the diverse internal audit stakeholder groups and recognize their specific needs, expectations, and influence
