How 
to 
Get 
the 
Most 
from 
This 
Book
At 
some 
point 
in 
your 
audit 
career, 
you 
will 
have 
to 
tell 
the 
managers 
of 
the 
process 
you 
are 
auditing 
that 
controls 
gaps 
exist 
and 
that 
the 
inherent 
risk 
is 
not 
being 
managed 
to 
an 
acceptable 
level. 
Chapter 8, 
“Techniques 
for 
Managing 
the 
Constituent 
Relationship,” 
describes 
ways 
to 
deliver 
bad 
news 
without 
creating 
bad 
feelings.
OVERVIEW 
OF 
THE 
FIVE 
TIER 
AUDIT 
COMPETENCY 
MODEL
Unlike 
other 
jobs, 
to 
be 
an 
effective 
internal 
auditor 
you 
need 
to 
be 
able 
to 
tap 
into 
and 
use 
five 
distinct 
competency 
categories, 
which 
are 
depicted 
in 
the 
Five 
Tier 
Audit 
Competency 
Model 
(Figure 1.1). 
competency 
is 
the 
ability 
to 
do 
something 
effectively. 
It 
is 
based 
on 
experience 
and 
the 
skills 
acquired 
from 
that 
experience. 
For 
example, 
the 
ability 
to 
negotiate 
effective 
contracts 
is 
competency, 
as 
it 
is 
the 
ability 
to 
organize 
and 
deliver 
clear 
and 
persuasive 
messages 
to 
allocate 
scarce 
or 
fixed 
resources 
between 
at 
least 
two 
parties.
