For effective internal audit, compliance and risk report-writing and related communications 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, now in its second edition, is well worth a read too (especially as I'm quoted!) and is available here: https://www.routledge.com/Radical-Reporting-Writing-Better-Audit-Risk-Compliance-and-Information-Security-Reports/James/p/book/9781032727530
John also rates Neil Macdonald for all things data analytics related. Check out his website, should you wish, if you need help in this particular area: Home - Technology4Business- Your data analytics provider
