John is very happy to deliver short talks and sessions at internal audit, governance or risk management conferences, networking events and seminars. He also organises, chairs and facilitates these things. Pretty well.
Unlike many speakers, he almost never charges a fee for this, but will usually want his travel and subsistence expenses covered. He's a cheap (but fun) date. But he does get booked up in advance, so do get in touch sooner rather than later!
Some of John's most recent speaker events include:

On a different note. In the unlikely event that John can’t professionally assist you with any requirement, he may be able to suggest a suitable alternative from his extensive network of contacts. John will do his best not to leave you in the lurch!
For effective internal audit, compliance and risk report-writing courses, John strongly recommends that you contact Sara I. James of Getting Words to Work: http://www.saraijames.com/ Sara has helped John (and his previous team!) improve their writing, impact and reporting to senior stakeholders. Sara's book, Radical Reporting, is well worth a read too (especially as I'm quoted!) and is available here: Radical Reporting: Writing Better Audit, Risk, Compliance, and Information Security Reports (Internal Audit and IT Audit): Amazon.co.uk: James, Sara I.: 9781032106045: Books
