ABSTRACT
John meets additional members of the organizations’ senior leadership team and identifies internal centers of excellence, so he invites them to make a presentation to his team. John explains the purpose, focus, and approach of internal audit to operations, financial, and IT staff. The audit with the updated audit program and methodology is underway, and the results impress the client. They discuss the handover of data analytics scripts to Compliance to help them in their monitoring efforts. Management congratulates internal audit on their work. John uncovers a fraud. Two operating units ask internal audit for assistance though advisory service engagements, and John encounters some resistance from one of the managers as their project is launched. John reviews his unit’s skills inventory with surprising results, engages with his team to address repeated mistakes, and encourages them to become certified.
