1 Auditing in Higher Education Advancing Auditing in Higher Education Reminder May is Internal Audit Awareness Month M A R C H Assurance Consul ng Risk Assessment Compliance Ethics It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it. - Benjamin Franklin INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Why should organizations have internal auditing? Getting to know your audit function. United Kingdom (UK) office of the IIA. Gauging the value of Internal Audit Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Why should organizations have internal auditing? As a cornerstone of strong governance, internal audi ng bridges the gap between management and the board, assesses the ethical climate and the effec veness and efficiency of opera ons, and serves as an organiza on's safety net for compliance with rules, regula ons, and overall best organiza onal prac ces. What is governance within an organiza on? The Ins tute of Internal Auditors defines governance as policies, processes, and structures used by an organiza on to direct and control its ac vi es, to achieve its objec ves, and to protect the interests of its diverse stakeholder groups in a manner consistent with appropriate ethical standards. Internal Audit is part of a strong governance process as it: Performs assessments to provide assurance the governance structures and processes are properly designed and opera ng effec vely, and Provides advice on poten al improvements to governance structures and processes. A primary lesson from the financial failure and collapse of numerous organiza ons is that good governance, risk management, and internal controls are essen al to business success and longevity. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls to mi gate risk which may impact the organiza- on s to succeed. Internal Audit can assist by objec vely assessing the effec veness of those controls. Because of its unique and objec ve perspec ve, indepth organiza onal knowledge, and applica on of sound audit and consul ng principles, a well-func oning, fully resourced and independent internal audit ac vity is well posi oned to provide valuable support and assurance to an organiza on and its oversight enes.

4 MAY IS INTERNAL AUDIT AWARENESS MONTH Internal Audit? There was a very good summary of Internal Audit which was put up on the web by The United Kingdom (UK) Office of the IIA posted an excellent summary upon which this ar cle draws A number of points are examined, including: What is Internal Audit? What is its value to the organiza on? What is the difference between Internal and External Audit? What is Internal Audit? The best way to provide a descrip- on of Internal Audit is to start with the IIA defini on of Internal Audi ng. Internal audi ng is an independent, objec ve assurance and consul ng ac vity designed to add value and improve an organiza- on's opera ons. It helps an organiza on accomplish its objec ves by bringing a systema c, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effec veness of risk management, control, and governance processes. audit clients, so cannot be independent from the external perspec- ve. A common interest is shared. Internal Auditors must be independent from the area they are reviewing as it relates to the subject process or func on. If an auditor recently moved from the payroll department to Internal Audit, independence would be ques onable if they were asked to immediately then audit Payroll as they would likely be audi ng their own work product. Similarly, objec vity could be ques oned if the auditor s best friend or spouse worked in the payroll department, or other area being audited. The Internal Auditor needs to ensure no conflict of interest exists prior to accep ng an engagement. Helps an organiza on accomplish its objec ves. One of the primary goals of the internal audit func on is to make the organiza on be er; to add value. Further on in the defini on this is reiterated in that Internal Audit is charged to not only evaluate, but to improve the effec veness within areas that are reviewed. PAGE 4 What is Internal Audit s value to the organiza on? Internal Auditors base ac vi es on a risk assessment to ensure that projects impact areas that are fundamental to the survival and prosperity of the en ty. Internal Auditors do not just look at financial risk and financial statements, but consider wider issues such as reputa on, growth, treatment of employees, and environmental impact. The summary by the UK office states it very clearly with the simple statement: In sum, internal auditors help organiza ons to succeed. What is the difference between Internal and External Audit? This is a ques on that is o en asked, and the UK office of the IIA put together a chart which summarizes four of the basic differen ators: Click here to access the IIA UK office website. Let s examine a couple of key points: Independent and objec ve. This is a combina on of fact and frame of mind. Internal Auditors work for the same organiza on as their Reports to Objec ves Coverage External audit shareholders or members who are outside the organiza ons governance structure.

5 PAGE 5 Gauging The Value of Internal Audit Here is an summary of Gauging The Value of Internal Audit from the magazine Internal Auditor in which Stakeholders offer their views of the profession and describe how auditors can best serve organiza onal needs. There is no easy way to assess the value internal audit adds to its organiza on. The worth of internal audit different from business to business. One of the best ways for to gauge their value is through the lens of these stakeholders par cularly those tasked with organiza onal management and oversight. These observa ons offer an objec ve look at the profession that helps shed light on what s important to the View of the Enterprise The task for many internal auditors and their stakeholders has been to redefine the value of internal audit to take account of a growing holis c approach to risk management. Not only is it much more knowledgeable about the business than the external auditor, internal audit s uniquely independent status enables it to take an in-depth but objec ve view of how well the company is performing. Gerry Czarnecki, chairman and CEO of the leadership and corporate governance consultancy the Deltennium Group, as well as audit commi ee chairman at State Farm Insurance Co., says The most valuable service an internal auditor can provide is to protect the audit commi ee from its own ignorance, which is, quite candidly, a lack of knowledge of what s really going on in the business. The Value of Assurance Carolyn Di meier, chair of the statutory audit commi ee at Assicurazioni Generali Group, one of Europe s largest insurers. She is responsible for giving her judgment about the effec veness of the organiza on s overall risk management and internal control systems. Internal audit s unique contribu on is to show them how risk management and internal control systems provide adequate governance across the key business processes. Di meier says the value of individual audit reports to the audit commi ee resides more in what the auditor says about the design of the control system than about whether it is in conformity with procedures. Advising on Change An independent audit commi ee member at the U.K. s Office of Rail Regula on and former head of audit at a major U.K. government department Melvyn Neate, says internal audit can add a lot of value by becoming deeply involved in organiza onal change projects. Neate says that historically internal audit has tended to be backward looking evalua ng the past performance of the company s controls and commen ng on their effec veness. This narrow compliance view has been encouraged by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, but Neate says that internal auditors stuck in that paradigm o en fail to add value. I want internal audit to look forward and think about what s coming, what the emerging risks are, what the situa on is likely to be, he says. That means looking at the business strategies, looking at the business plans ahead, and being proac- ve in ge ng involved in the key ini a ves.. Click here to access the en re ar cle. Piper, Arthur.
