Audit Reports that drive action

Richard Chambers interviews Margie Bastolla, an audit report–writing expert, trainer, and author, on effective audit reporting. They examine common reporting errors, including unclear effect statements and weak root-cause analysis, and discuss practical techniques to write reports that resonate with high-level readers. Margie also discusses the role of AI as a research assistant, the importance of critical thinking, and trends toward shorter, more visual reporting that still prioritize a clear message.
