Pris icke-medlem: före 604 kr, nu 440 kr
In Raise the Red Flag, author Lynn Fountain combines principles and theories of fraud prevention and detection with real-world scenarios and hands-on procedures. She provides audit teams with the tools, techniques, and protocols needed to solidify their role in fraud work.

Internal auditors must be ever vigilant when evaluating audit areas and an organization’s overall corporate culture. The inability to challenge the status quo when something goes awry is like silent acceptance of inappropriate behavior. The concepts and strategies in this book will help internal auditors assess, evaluate, identify, and mitigate the risk for fraud in their organizations.

Pris medlem: före 333 kr, nu 223 kr
Pris icke-medlem: före 417 kr, nu 279 kr
There is no question that the internal audit profession has a compelling value proposition. It upholds the virtues of righteousness, continuous improvement, excellence, achievement, accountability, and positive change, to name a few. Internal audit activities serve as a hedge for organizations against mediocrity, erosion of ethical values, and corruption.
In Internal Auditing: Uncover the Myths, Discover the Value, author Rick Wright provides a brief history of internal auditing and presents a number of tangible ways internal audit functions create and add value.
Chapters include:
- The value proposition
- Internal auditing myths
- Three lines of defense
- How internal audit is governed and managed
- The contemporary practice of internal auditing
- Tools of internal auditing
The internal audit value proposition is alive and well. Internal audit functions all around the world are delivering value to their organizations through objectivity, assurance, and insights. Today, and in the future, internal auditors will play a critical role in helping the organizations they serve to better manage risk and achieve their objectives.

Combined Assurance: Case Studies on a Holistic Approach to Organizational Governance
Pris medlem: före 414 kr, nu 250 kr
Pris icke-medlem: före 516 kr, nu 313 kr
Risks today are so diverse that the internal audit function cannot provide assurance on its own; auditors have to coordinate with other assurance providers. Nevertheless, assurance providers often work in silos, leading to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and a lack of transparency.
There is a clear need to combine and coordinate reporting from various assurance providers. To meet this need, the concept of combined assurance has been introduced, providing a holistic approach to risk management and assurance.
For the first time, internal audit researchers have provided an in-depth look at how six multinational organizations are in the process of implementing and benefiting from combined assurance. The report provides critical success factors, methods to overcome challenges, and leadership strategies for internal audit.
”Research shows time and again that organizations benefit most from their risk and control investments when their assurance functions work together. These excellent case studies effectively show how to implement this kind of combined assurance and the advantages that it provides.”
—Phil Tarling, former President of the European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditing (ECIIA)

Pris icke-medlem: före 350 kr, nu 288 kr
Today’s audit leader struggles with creating an integrated, efficient approach to data mining that maximizes the impact and value the audit department delivers. The objective of the project is to research and design a data analytics framework ranging across a wide spectrum of concepts (such as financial risk, compliance, and fraud) to help internal audit functions broaden risk coverage and enhance audit efficiency.
You will learn how to:
- Develop a data analytics framework and use it to accomplish multiple audit objectives.
- Enhance internal audit efficiency through the use of data mining and analytics.
- Eliminate duplicated data mining and analysis efforts across audit and other functions.
- Determine the optimal effort needed to maximize the framework.
The Internal Audit Foundation, in partnership with Grant Thornton, conducted research and provided subject matter experts and editorial resources to produce this report.

The Politics of Internal Auditing
Pris medlem: före 468 kr, nu 253 kr
Pris icke-medlem: före 550 kr, nu 317 kr
Organizations are, by definition, political. They are comprised of people who have different individual goals and objectives, different value systems, different approaches to accomplishing their objectives, and different motivating reward systems. When it comes to internal auditing and the reality that internal audit results may reflect badly on some individuals, the potential for political pressure on CAEs is great.
This research report addresses political pressure on CAEs and their internal audit departments. Having surveyed nearly 500 CAEs from various business sectors around the world, researchers Patty Miller and Larry Rittenberg share how effective CAEs work to mitigate political pressure and lessons learned that may help manage political pressure.
Some of the research findings reveal:
- Political pressure comes in many forms.
- Political pressure can be managed and partially mitigated, but it always exists.
- Professional competence is required, but it is not sufficient.
- Political pressure exists whether the CAE position is career-focused or rotational.
Due to the nature of organizations, and basic human nature to succeed and be respected, political pressure will undoubtedly always be a risk in any organization. This research points out some things that can be done to strengthen the culture, improve the governance structure, and build support for internal auditing.
