Managers need auditors. There are more risks in running an
organization than ever before ? whether it be in the public,
private or non-profit sector. With the break-up of the state
sector, the ambiguous intermediary role of ?not for profit?
organizations, and turbulence in the marketplace through mergers,
acquisitions and divestments, the seeds are sown for chaos and a
culture in which fraud can flourish. Notorious corporate collapses
such as BCCI, Maxwell Communications Corporation and Barings are
cases in point. An updated and revised version of the auditing
classic The Manager and The Modern Internal Auditor, first
published in 1979, this new book highlights the necessity of
establishing internal control in organizations and illustrates how
internal audit can be a highly effective means to avoid corporate
disaster. The authors present a proven formula for organizational
success through the joint workings of managers and internal
auditors as partners for profit, growth and sustainability. They
examine the latest insights into the needs and nature of managerial
activity and explain the complementary contribution that internal
audit can make. Whether the manager is planning and budgeting,
organizing, directing, controlling or formulating strategic policy,
the internal auditor?s assistance is shown to be invaluable.
