Seven Reasons Your Internal Audit Strategic Plan Fails and How to Fix Them

In Episode 78 of Audit Bites, host Rob Berry dives deep into one of the most common sources of audit frustration: why internal audit strategic plans so often derail.

And what you can do to make yours work.

Drawing from real-life stories, behavioral psychology, and years of experience, Rob Berry breaks down the seven key reasons audit plans fall apart.

We'll talk about:

  1. The dangers of self-centered strategic planning and how to align with organizational objectives
  2. Why "trusted advisor" is more than a buzzword
  3. How to combat the planning fallacy and keep your plan alive
  4. The trap of overengineering your frameworks and keeping objectives simple and actionable
  5. The importance of forward-looking audits over reactive, backward-focused ones
  6. Critical communication techniques to inspire, engage, and involve your audit team and stakeholders
  7. Ensuring your strategy is resourced for reality, not just wishful thinking

Whether you’re a Chief Audit Executive, audit manager, or aspiring professional, this episode is full of bite-sized insights you can immediately apply to your strategic planning process.
