THE FORECASTED FUTURE
So who will survive?
EVOLUTION OF INTERNAL AUDIT
Introduced after the post-war business boom in the US.
Initially transactional, the focus started shifting to controls and compliance
with process.
Coverage started to move from cyclical to risk based projects.
Shift towards regulatory compliance post Enron.
Compliance blended with value added and a more consultative role.
Role moving toward more advisory and business partner. More forward looking.
Requirement to add value now expected.
