Book Reviews of Audit Planning: A Risk-Based Approach
Book Review: Aligned with IIA/best practice model
Summary: 5 Stars
Fairly easy read, the book takes you through a model or framework to move towards a risk based internal audit function, imperative to any company wanting their internal audit department be truly risk based. The building up of the IIA model piece by piece and explaining each piece in the process makes this a good read, and the model one to share with others to focus on key components. I would highly recommend this and the whole IIA series for anyone who wants to keep their internal audit function relevant, especially if considering the likely impact of ERM to internal audit.
Summary of Audit Planning: A Risk-Based Approach
More now than ever before, auditing is in the spotlight; legislators, regulators, and top executives in all types of businesses realize the importance of auditors in the governance and performance equation. Previously routine and formulaic, internal auditing is now high-profile and high-pressure! Being an auditor in today's complex, highly regulated business environment involves more than crunching the numbers and balancing the books-it requires ensuring that appropriate checks and balances are in place to manage risk throughout the organization.Designed to help auditors in any type of business develop the essential understanding, capabilities, and tools needed to prepare credible, defensible audit plans, Audit Planning: A Risk-Based Approach helps auditors plan the audit process so that it makes a dynamic contribution to better governance, robust risk management, and more reliable controls.
Invaluable to internal auditors facing new demands in the workplace, this book is also a "hands-on" reference for external auditors, compliance teams, financial controllers, consultants, executives, small business owners, and others charged with reviewing and validating corporate governance, risk management, and controls.
The second book in the new Practical Auditor Series, which helps auditors get down to business, Audit Planning: A Risk-Based Approach gives new auditors principles and methodologies they can apply effectively and helps experienced auditors enhance their skills for success in the rapidly changing business world.
