Auditing Standards

Having experience in the audit and quality assurance environment, I consider myself as a versatile presenter who is professional, flexible and enthusiastic with a good sense of humour.

I want to ensure that each and every attendee enjoys the course and has acquired at least one or two key issues for future perusal. I prepare these presentations with due diligence and necessary professional preparation.

I encourage attendees to prepare for a fast, furious yet fun session.

I consider the following factors as critical issues when delivering my public speeches and in delivering personalised in-house training programmes:-

4 Ability to allow feedback

4 Ability to evaluate the event

4 Holds group member in "unconditional positive regard"

4 Cultural sensitivity to many different ways of viewing things

4 Good delivery skills

4 Flexible and adaptable in regard to the group’s needs

4 Able to establish objectives and to move the group toward them

4 Able to make clear presentations through effective communication skills

4 Understanding of and ability to manage the group process

4 Able to make appropriate interventions
