Join Jackie Stapleton and special guest Kevin Sanders in Episode #17 of the "Lead the Standard" Podcast, where we break down the formula for a successful audit. This episode, based on Edition #64 of our newsletter (https://email.auditortrainingonline.com/lead-the-standard-ed-64), will help you enhance your auditing process with these key steps:

• Nail the Opening Meeting: Set the right tone from the start to build a strong connection with your clients.

• Ask Beautiful Questions: Learn how asking the right questions can lead to deeper insights and a more valuable audit.

• Conduct a Valuable Audit: Focus on the business, not just the standards, to ensure your audit adds real value.

• Closing the Loop: Wrap up the audit effectively by framing findings as opportunities for improvement.

Kevin Sanders will share practical tips and insights to help you apply these steps in your audits. Plus, stay tuned for the live Q&A session, where we'll answer your questions and discuss how to lead the standards, not just meet them!
