Keep the OIG Out of Your Organization

Hiring an external auditor is an excellent way to ensure ideal operations within your organization. External auditors are not employees, therefore, they’re free of conflicts of interest. They’re often able to see problems that may otherwise go unnoticed. When you bring external auditors in to your organization, it’s not uncommon for the entire staff to think the worst. Perceptions of inadequacies, compliance problems, and bad business decisions swirl around the minds of employees who fear the loss of employment and/or a ruined reputation. Negativity and fear can lead to defensiveness and internal sabotage that can potentially destroy the entire process.

Set the tone within your organization when you hire an external auditor. Ease the minds of your staff members regarding the role of the audit by communicating wisely, and openly.
