10月29日上午，“内审实务大讲堂”第一期在致明楼一楼报告厅正式启幕。我校首位海外院长、国际内部审计师协会（IIA）原秘书长兼首席执行官理查德・钱伯斯教授受邀担任首讲嘉宾，以《成为内部审计领域的可信赖顾问》为主题，为现场师生带来了一场专业且深刻的讲座。本期活动由内部审计学院副院长廖林教授主持，来自内部审计学院和审计专业硕士国际班的50余名师生参加本次讲座。
钱伯斯教授开篇即指出，21世纪的内部审计人员必须致力于在组织中争取“一席之地”，只有进入战略决策层，才能深入洞察组织面临的业务与战略风险。他强调，内部审计正从传统的“监督者”向“可信赖顾问”转变，这一转型不仅是职业发展的必然趋势，更是提升组织治理与风险管理水平的关键。
钱伯斯教授围绕“可信赖顾问”这一核心定位，系统阐述了顶尖内部审计人员应具备的三大维度特质：在个人特质方面，他强调道德韧性、结果导向、求知欲与开放心态的重要性，指出审计人员应超越流程合规，聚焦审计成果的实际价值；在关系属性层面，他提出动态沟通、洞察性关系构建与激励型领导力是提升影响力的关键；在专业特质中，批判性思维与技术专长被视为核心能力，其中技术专长不仅限于审计技能，更包括对行业与组织的深度理解。
钱伯斯教授还特别指出，在人工智能快速发展的背景下，审计人员应善用技术作为“研究助手”，但绝不能替代人的专业判断与伦理思考。展望未来，他指出“未来的杰出内部审计师”将具备风险直觉、技术无畏、伦理远见与跨文化胜任力等特质，并可能来自工程、化学等非传统背景，以应对日益复杂和全球化的审计需求。
在互动环节中，同学们踊跃提问，针对“内部审计人员最重要的特质”这一问题，钱伯斯教授强调核心在于“跟踪风险”，但前提是要保持持续学习与自我提升的热情，他将内部审计生动比喻为“船的瞭望台”，认为这一视角对职业发展具有不可替代的价值。针对“九大特质中最易被忽视的一项”，他引用研究数据指出，由于70%的审计人员天性内向，“关系能力”往往成为最需要突破却又最易被轻视的短板。
整场讲座为师生带来深刻启发，同学们在会后积极分享心得，为这场讲座写下生动注脚。

Gilbert Simson Gattang：Attending Professor Richard Chambers’s masterclass was truly inspiring and offered profound insights into the evolving role of auditors as strategictrusted advisors. Drawing from decades of experience, he clearly articulated how personal integrity, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and dynamic communication form the foundation of trust. What stood out most was his holistic framework- balancing personal, relational, and professional attributes (how audit in appearance and audit in fact)- that goes beyond technical competence to shape truly impactful auditors. The emphasis on being results-focused, intellectually curious, and ethically resilient resonates deeply with our development as future audit professionals. These lessons are not just relevant to our academic journey at Nanjing Audit University, but will be invaluable as we transition into the professional world. The principles shared by Professor Chambers will undoubtedly guide us in building credibility, driving meaningful change, and earning a seat at the table in our future careers.
Fatmata Binta Bah：The phrase “Outstanding Auditors of Tomorrow” perfectly captures the essence of Richard F. Chambers’s Masterclass on The Trusted Advisor, which inspired me to see auditing beyond routine tasks and compliance. Chambers emphasized that outstanding auditors must rise above the basics, develop both professionally and personally, and earn trust through competence, relationships, and integrity to become valued voices at the decision-making table. In today’s fast-changing, technology-driven world, where AI reshapes controls and systems, his message about “staying relevant” is more important than ever, reminding us that auditors must evolve into trusted advisors who offer foresight and insight that technology cannot replace. The session was engaging, energetic, and deeply insightful; Chambers’s passion and interactive teaching made every moment impactful. It was truly a privilege to learn from him, and the experience strengthened my resolve to become an outstanding auditor of tomorrow, one who is ethical, curious, relational, and ever ready to add value.
本次讲座通过搭建高水平的国际交流平台，为内审学院研究生提供了重要的专业指引，深化了学生对前沿理念的理解，拓展了国际视野，为今后的学术研究与职业发展奠定了坚实基础。
