Really appreciated a human and actionable explanation of the true purpose of auditing and its procedures and focusing not just on the technical tools that can be used to increase effectiveness but also the communication standards, tools, and focuses that help open up discussion and encourage more precise and effective work and results. Goal alignment is difficult to attain at times as well as perspective on the way to get there, this really provided a great way to naturally attain alignment.

The instructor shared many good tips and experiences. I think we often forget the power that an idea can have, and it's true that sometimes we forget that not everyone has the same level of knowledge (especially with acronyms!).
