A letter to my auditor

A letter to my auditor:

I know you're a great one in the field you've chosen.  As you have easily traced lapses in the SOP, non-compliance by the employees and departments, substantial risk exposure leading to financial losses (though sometimes your line of questioning is quite intriguing, out of context maybe, not aligned to my task and job description).  You're really a fault finder and you are excellent also in the assessment of existing controls to mitigate risk.

I adore you, you have brain for that, for you can see anything, but auditor should have heart too, so that you can feel also my sentiment and feelings - my utmost compliance in your standard process and company policy - "afraid to one big mistake, you're fired policy".  But if the errors are just minor violation, you should give me one more chance.

Though your audit issues and findings have been responded by me with clear explanation and corrective action, you find it still unacceptable, ever since you have a high standard.

Internal Audit's objective is to find lapses but provide solutions to improve process, protect financials, for a better, greater organization and relationship, as well as to totally eliminate, forgive and forget errors committed in the past.

If my grade before was unsatisfactory (as you practiced your profession prior to your license), maybe this time you can grade me with an excellent, for sound reasoning and for opening my heart - my kept feeling before.  What do you think?


Sincerely yours,
Your substantial risk
