Independence: I Do Not Think That Word Means What You Think It Means

Field: Auditing | Delivery Method: Self Study | CPE Hours: 0.5

Independence is a term may in internal audit like to push the boundaries on, but when we do we can come off as arrogant or self-righteous to others in the organization. In this week's Jamming with Jason internal audit podcast I discuss the difference between independence and objectivity, why objectivity is more important than independence, and you are not really as independent as you may think.

As with all episodes, you will also walk away with some practical tips you can start using today.

This week's episode is brought to you by the Chief Audit Executive (CAE) Forum.
