Audit Findings Receive Another Request for Information

Decisions 3 today

The business responds

• International Communications heard that the fly wanted more information on “Company-wide phishing simulation programme” and refused, loudly enough to be heard two floors down. They cooled on the fly a little.

  “Demanding more information is sensible, provided it arrives before the audit does. Otherwise we are merely grooming our eyes while the findings write the press release.”
