BACKGROUND INFORMATION

In navigating the crosswinds that they are often subject to, modern organisations rely heavily on the insight provided by the internal auditors. The call from the organisations in which they work is that internal auditors should not work in silo from the rest of the organisation, nor should their work be focused on fault finding. Rather, the internal auditor’s mission is to be a guiding light to the rest of the organisation in the identification and management of risk and opportunity.
Key in achieving this mission are three fundamental elements. Firstly, the function must be given the right positioning within the entity by considering matters such as the mandate, the structure and the relationship to other parts of the business. The right attributes ensure that there are the foundations in place to achieve the quality of delivery that internal auditors aspire to. The remaining two building blocks are directly focused on the performance and encompass the quality of the human resources themselves and the robustness of the internal audit processes implemented.
The lecture aims at providing a refresher of the application of the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing promulgated by The Institute of Internal Auditors in reaching the desired positioning, people skill set and procedural robustness and achieving the mission for internal auditors.
