There are new opportunities every day for internal audit teams to provide tangible value to their companies. The best internal audit teams provide this value through a blend of soft skills and creative technical approaches. Auditing Impact: Adding Value Through Internal Audit offers a roadmap for building rapport with your business partners, but also includes practical advisory projects and technical audit approaches which will return tangible value to your organization.
When our business partners are still struggling to support an effective three lines of defense model, it is important to approach these business partners with both humility and knowledge. This combination of soft skills and technical ability doesn't come easily for everyone, but Jeremiah Robison has written an easy-to-understand guide for developing a value-added internal audit mindset.
Additionally, Jeremiah explains how to effectively leverage technologies to advance as a department. Developing an effective data analytics program doesn't have to be overly complicated, but even the most basic technologies can be more fully utilized to develop a more dynamic internal audit function. Effectively leveraging technology is one way to increase the value your team is providing business partners and can be utilized in financial control testing, operational auditing, or value-added audit and advisory projects.
This book walks through the crucial elements for successful internal auditing and includes information for the first-year internal audit staff and the veteran chief audit executive. In this book, you will find practical steps for increasing audit efficiency and deepening audit effectiveness.
