Advance Your Career with Superior Communication Skills
Warren Buffett once said, "You can have all the brainpower in the world, but you have to be able to transmit it. If you can't communicate, it's like waving at someone in the dark — nothing happens."
As Buffett points out, the success of your career is dependent on the quality of your communication. In the field of auditing, where concepts are technical in nature, miscommunications are a daily occurrence. This is true in both oral and written communication.
As an auditor, writing effectively is challenging because each one of your readers has a different level of background knowledge. In a single day, you may communicate with other auditors, co-workers in separate departments, and members of the public. Given the varying levels of expertise among your audiences, this webinar will address the importance of tailoring your communication to each reader.
By composing emails and documentation that make a positive impression on your clients and co-workers, you will be more likely to obtain their approval. This will enable you to expand your practice and advance your career.
This webinar is led by Ryan Standil, the owner of Write To Excite, and Arun Mathur, the owner of UltimQuest Knowledge. Ryan is a full-time writing instructor, and Arun has 40 years of audit and training experience. Together, they share best practices that will help you improve your writing skills in the field of audit.
Ryan Standil leads seminars about effective written communication. He is a regular speaker at accounting firms, law firms, corporations, and governmental agencies. Ryan attended Western University, in Canada, where he graduated from the Ivey Business School and the Faculty of Law. After graduating, Ryan worked at a law firm in Toronto, focusing on corporate and commercial matters. Today Ryan owns and operates a seminar company, called Write To Excite.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
