13 Personlige refleksioner om samarbejde mellem Ekstern og Intern revision One size does not fit all! Kompetencer hos Intern revision vil ofte komplementere kompetencer hos Ekstern revision Kompetencer hos Ekstern revision vil ofte komplementere kompetencer hos Intern revision Et stærk samarbejde, hvor Ekstern og Intern revision næsten fremstår som ét team reducerer risikoen for at forretningen bliver unødigt belastet af den revision, som skal gennemføres Åben dialog om udfordringer mv. fremmer et godt samarbejde jo mere jeg selv investerer i at optimere samarbejdet jo mere antager jeg, at jeg selv får ud af det Direkte assistance pros and cons Hvordan rapporterer Ekstern revision
