Financial Auditor Question:

Because external auditors go into companies as an outsider in order to point out issues and enact change, I realize that communication is a vital skill. Without honed communication skills, the auditor may not be able to articulate his or her thoughts or explain the issues found in a way that can be understood by the general public. It is also important that an external auditor is able to communicate in a friendly way to ensure there is no animosity.
