There’s nothing wrong with more.

The Essential Auditor is for people who want more. More money. More recognition. More respect. More … influence.

Ultimately, it always comes down to influence. Those who have it are able to parlay it into whatever they want. Internal Auditors, if they have the right mindset, are in a unique position to wield influence.

At The Essential Auditor, we’ll show you how any internal auditor, at any level, can start building influence. It’s not hard to acquire. And it’s not devious. It’s actually very simple. In fact, it’s so simple that I have a prediction. At some point while you’re reading these TEA posts, you will say to yourself “This is too simple. There’s got to be more.” The fact is, the best answers to anything have four attributes – they are i) simple, ii) practical, iii) complete, and iv) sustainable.

So if you reject simplicity, you’re making a mistake.

And it’s a mistake that many people make.

People often get caught up looking for complex solutions in a complex world. And we forget about the simple lessons that always work. They work because they are universal and proven over time.

The Essential Auditor is focused on one thing. It describes how internal auditors can develop influence. Actually, anyone can use and apply these ideas. But internal auditors start with both a blessing and a curse. We’ll take advantage of the blessing. And we’ll show you how to eliminate the curse. It’s all in your power.

It just takes the right mindset.
