Internal Auditing Program, Risk Based Business Process Audit Seminar & Consulting

Is RBIA Right For My Department?
Basic Questions and Answers relating to Risk Based Integrated Auditing. Answers the questions: What is RBIA? Who will be the winners? The loosers? Does RBIA comply with professional standards? Will a change in audit charter be needed? What are the benefits of RBIA to me? What saupport is offered to an RBIA audit department? Are you a General Auditor considering the conversion to RBIA? If so, this book will help you through the thought process. It answers the most commonly asked questions about how RBIA will deliver the value and productivity you are looking for. RBIA is not suitable for every internal audit department. For example, those internal audit departments whose operating philosophy is to be the corporate cops, or rigid procedure enforcers should select an audit approach that is better suited to those objectives. If however, your vision of your internal audit department is to be recognized as a major contributor to helping your Vice Presidents accomplish their business objectives, if you want to dramatically increase your value and productivity and personally be seen as someone who can help the company move the ball forward, then RBIA has been specifically designed for you. Is RBIA Right for My Department? will help you answer the questions you have about initiating such a change in your internal audit department.
