Careers advice

Moving up

Two former heads of internal audit explain what the role taught them and how it helped to prepare them for a seat on the board.

Every secondment counts

If you are offered a temporary work placement with another employer – perhaps even in a different function from internal audit – you’d be well advised to jump at the chance. So says Chris Monk, whose organisation, Uniac, and its staff have long reaped the benefits of secondments.

Training & Development

Challenging conversations are habit-forming

“Any challenging conversation needs to be handled with care because people need to be handled with care. Forget this at your peril,” says Adrian Thompson, chief internal auditor, Norfolk County Council.
