Best Practices in Value Added Auditing

Best Practices in
Value Added Auditing

May 14 & 15, 2001

The new definition of internal auditing says we “add value” through “assurance and consulting” activities and evaluating “risk management, control, and governance processes.” But what does this mean in practice? This enlightening seminar will give you the answer. Roth will present best practices that exemplify the new definition--practices of recognized internal audit leaders like DuPont, Lucent Technologies, and JCPenney, as well as emerging leaders like Canada Post and the City of Austin. This seminar is based on Roth’s recently published book, Best Practices: Value-Added Approaches of Four Innovative Internal Auditing Departments, his ongoing IIA research study on Value-Added Services of Internal Auditors, and his eight years of researching best practices for a variety of IIA projects. Also included is a section on Enterprise Risk Management. 16 hours of CPE.
