Tell us about a time when you faced resistance from stakeholders during an audit and how you effectively managed it.

During an audit, I faced resistance from stakeholders when I recommended changes to their established processes. The stakeholders were hesitant to adopt the changes because they believed their current processes were effective. To effectively manage this resistance, I scheduled meetings with the stakeholders to understand their concerns and listened to their perspectives. I then provided them with detailed explanations on why the changes were necessary and how they would benefit the organization. I also offered to provide additional training and support to help them adapt to the new processes. By demonstrating empathy, open communication, and the benefits of the changes, I was able to gain their trust and successfully implement the recommended changes.
