Communication
We are more than just information gatherers.
It’s so important to communicate with the carriers throughout the audit process.
Good communication can make the audit easier on both the carrier and the auditor. A job well done has an impact on the big picture (Peer Reviews).
How can we deal with an angry carrier?
