To gain experience in environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives, the internal auditor would benefit most from direct exposure to the organization's strategic discussions and decisions related to these areas. Attending committee meetings focused on strategic community awareness will provide the auditor with insights into current ESG practices, challenges, and strategic goals. This involvement will enhance the auditor's understanding of ESG issues and contribute to their professional development plan effectively.
