Description

Richard Chambers interviews Margie Bastolla on how to write audit reports that matter: concise, risk-focused findings that prompt timely action. They cover common mistakes—writing for auditors instead of readers, wordy and ambiguous effects, and weak root-cause analysis—and practical techniques to improve clarity, executive summaries, visuals, and recommendations.


Margie also discusses the role of AI as a research assistant, the importance of critical thinking, and trends toward shorter, more visual reports that still prioritize a clear message.
