Synopsis

Internal auditing is the process by which a special group of a company's employees works to help assure management that the business is achieving its objectives economically, effectively and efficiently. It also ensures that the financial and operating information is reliable, that laws, regulations and procedures are being complied with and that the assets are safeguarded.
This book is based on the research which has led to the development of tested computer-based approaches to planning. It examines audit planning at the strategic, tactical and operational levels.
Effective Internal Audits provides practical tools for effective internal audit planning at all levels; shows how audit needs assessments can be made; integrates these plans and then applies these planning tools to business activities other than audit; focuses upon potential risk, exposure and vulnerability as determinants of audit effort; includes a useful directory of available software; and is illustrated with practical examples based on real cases.
