With an emphasis on value creation and leadership, this book will help organizations around the globe to build stronger internal audit functions, highlighting the latest risks including COVID-19 and the most cutting-edge tools to assess them.

As environmental risks grow in number and complexity, and organizational resources become more constrained, the need to maximize both efficiency and effectiveness in internal auditing (IA) has never been greater. International IA expert Patricia Kaim leverages nearly 30 years’ experience to offer real-world solutions to a range of IA issues, including how to:

- audit key major areas, such as organizational culture, diversity and inclusion, fraud, blockchain, and cyber risk

- design first-class continuous monitoring

- improve stakeholder management and add value to a range of auditing activities

- increase audit speed without compromising on quality

- develop high-performing IA teams with high agility, emotional intelligence, and morale

Auditors, audit executives, and quality assurance professionals in business and government will gain a new understanding of how to add value to their organizations, and a toolkit of best practices in IA design, management, analytics, and more.
