The blog touched relevant knowledge elements but it is too long. Concise blogs pass messages quicker.
Dear Edu,
Thank you for your comments and the improvement needs suggested.
I totally agree with your observations especially when the target is for the experienced internal auditors who may need a quick refresher on the subject.
My thoughts for the long length are to provide reasonable total picture overview and guidance on the subject as a mentorship to the young and less experienced internal auditors and those aspiring to be in the space, and who will need more detailed insight to grasp the concepts, principles and the application in real life. Once again, thank you for investing your time and effort to read my post.
