Student Question
I’ve just been assigned to my company’s internal controls and audit department. My day-to-day work involves monitoring other departments to prevent errors and auditing them for issues. Since I’m new to this role, do you have any advice?
Master Chi’s Response
Here’s a general direction for you:
- First, get a thorough understanding of the basic situation in each department — so you have a clear picture in your mind.
- Get to know your direct supervisor and understand how they want this work approached. In the workplace, beyond doing your own job well, earning your leader’s recognition matters greatly.
- Learn from your colleagues about the key things to watch out for in daily work.
Build this foundation first, then move forward with your work — and you’ll definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort.
