Cutting Edge Internal Auditing (PDF)

Cutting Edge Internal Auditing provides guidance and
knowledge for every internal auditor, encouraging each to pioneer
new ground in the development of their professional practices in
all risk management, control and governance processes.

Serving as an excellent reference guide that develops a pattern
of internal auditing now and for the future, this book explores the
concept of 'cutting edge' internal auditing as an
imaginative adventure: demonstrating how this has influenced and
will continue to influence the development of professionalism in
internal auditing.

Built on the foundations of Jeffrey Ridley's extensive internal
auditing experience across the public and private sectors, the
author uses his articles and research to explore and develop the
motivations, goals and categories of innovation in internal
auditing today. It develops and brings up to date an imaginative
internal auditing model, created and used by the author in the
early 1980s, drawing on research and guidance by The Institute of
Internal Auditors Inc., its Research Foundation and the Institute
of Internal Auditors - UK and Ireland.

Each chapter stands alone by focusing on an individual internal
auditing theme, considered from both the perspective of internal
auditing and its customers to suggest an appropriate vision as a
goal for every internal audit activity. Each chapter also includes
self-assessment questions to challenge the readers understanding of
its messages.

Companion website contains some of the author's training
slides and seventy case studies, many written by leading internal
audit practitioners, this book creates a vision for future cutting
edge internal auditing.
