AUDIT EXCELLENCE
DESKRIPSI
The purpose of this module is to share some of the best ideas internal audit practice today: ideas from practitioners all over the world and ideas from Total Quality Management (TQM) principles. We believe that internal auditing is constantly improving profession. By presenting ideas from other groups and other disciplines, we can learn and grow to our full potential.
The module is organized roughly in the order the audit process takes. First we must understand the changes in our organizations and the effects these changes have on the practice of internal auditing. We next deal with the issue of productivity and performance measurements for individuals and for the internal audit department.
The preparation of the audit includes a new look at risk assessment and aligning the audit focus to the organizational values. Performing the audit is the subject of the next two sections which concentrate on audit techniques that have been immensely successful in other organizations. Include here are the value-adding techniques of Georgia Pacific (USA) and the self-assessment process of Gulf Resources (Canada) as examples. How to apply the TQM principles of the Deming Cycle of continuous improvement to the audit process is also discussed.
We conclude with two chapters on reporting and selling the results, including proven consultative techniques and an action plan for audit excellence.
