In the wake of some severe corporate failures, expectations from Internal Audit are changing, and there is a clear shift in how organizations view their corporate governance and control environment. Share holders and audit committees are taking active interest in the effectiveness of Risk Management and Control Assurance areas in their organization. Stakeholders are increasingly demanding a higher degree of transparency and ethical behavior.
Today’s leading internal audit organizations are no longer limited to hazard avoidance and compliance. They need to demonstrate their knowledge on risk management, business process improvement, which is a characteristic of a consultant rather than a classical internal auditor. Furthermore, internal auditors are no longer required to focus solely on financial audits. They increasingly need to provide value adding support to managements across all areas of operation, for example, Information Technology, Purchase-to-Pay process, Order-to-Cash process, regulatory compliance, etc. To meet these challenges, a growing number of organizations are looking for strategic partners to support their internal audit requirements.
