What is it about the truth that always makes people cringe?
What is it about audit that puts people up on their guards & at their defensive stances?
What is it about this lady that they so love to dish their dirts about?
And just what is it about the truth, as they claim, that this auditor, seemingly wields that puts a many uncomfortable in their own skins & at their own functions?
I can sum it up in one word:
Fear.
People fear the probability of a loss,
Which I can very well say is, usually, tied to the exposure of one’s misconducts & malpractices.
Yep, it is true…
People hate having their secrets exposed as much as they loathe those individuals who know only to speak of the truth.
Funny isn’t it?
That while they can never be upfront & tell it to you straight-out that they’re displeased with the truth you’ve told,
They hold it against you who can.
Too bad that some people feel and look at it that way.
And it’s such a loss.
Coz the practice of the audit profession is on the improvement of systems & processes;
And in providing value to management.
Definitely,
We, auditors, are no personal assailants & we are not hired to be spies or personal investigators,
Unless of course, there is fraud involved in the process.
So the question now is,
Is there any?
I refuse to comment….
How about,
You tell me.
Nothing to say?
Then hear this:
If you look at it,
It’s a perfectly normal state of mind….
Fear….
And I can definitely understand that we all have our own interests to protect,
But jeez,
Some individuals can be just way too overboard.
And I believe,
It is that same fear that has driven some into ways and means that do not befit their status or reputation.
And it’s such a shame,
Coz there never was a level playing field for this contender.
Tell me,
How can one single individual become a threat to an entire congregation related by blood or that associated by trait?
Unless they really do consider the individual to be THAT good & THAT capable.
If so,
Then wow!
That just made someone mighty damn proud!
I ponder upon all these questions now….
Now that I’ve bidden my adieu to the company that has, I believe, in more ways than one, made my shell a bit thicker, helped my mind to get a little bit more sharper, and made me that much stronger;
And I’ve come to realize a few things:
The truth will, almost always, hurt.
But it will soon be a lot worse…
If there’s no one to play the devil’s advocate, or the bad guy in situations such as this.
And when that time comes,
My fear is,
Can they handle the truth?
