Today, I have attended a webinar presented by ISACA entitled:
People-Centric Communications: Marketing Internal Audit & Conflict Management
The presenter identified three pillars of internal audit marketing as follows:
1. Consistent Messaging: defining internal audit, focus on objectives and outreach with managers.
2. Continuous Education: Alleviate the fear, Newsletters, Don't use independence as an excuse
3.Transparency: Try not to hide anything post the audit plan
The presenter linked marketing internal audit and conflict together by offering the following explanation :
"With the innate fear of the word audit, conflict naturally arises "

I prefer to re-label this to continuous communication! In fact, the three pillars fall under communication!
3.Transparency: Try not to hide anything post the audit plan

I do not intend to go through the webinar in detail, but rather I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to share your experience with marketing your internal audit services within your organization.
Do you have a structured marketing strategy?
What worked and did not work?
More importantly, do you think you should have a marketing plan? I am personally, a strong advocate of marketing and promoting internal audits.I like to think that I was successful at this!
Please share your experience .
