Résumé

Auditing For Managers is an essential resource for busy managers and review teams, setting standards for self-audit risk management, compliance reviews and formal disclosure reporting. Covering a much overlooked area, it takes the techniques for performing reliable and defensible audit reviews into the general business risk management and controls arena.

Key Features

A simple, jargon-free, 'how to do' format that can be used by managers to ensure speedy and successful completion of internal reviews of their enterprise risk management process.
Guidance covering various different audits including management audits, formal investigations and control risk self-assessments.
A comprehensive set of standards that can be adapted and adopted by managers from all types of organizations to help them develop a systematic way of performing internal reviews.
A brand new business assurance tool is introduced called A4M.99: Auditing for Managers based on 99 key values - a solution to the current problem whereby published corporate disclosures regarding systems of internal control mean little or nothing to the typical business manager, who is asked to sign up to them.

Although auditing is seen by many as a specialist process, it may nevertheless be applied by all levels of management to improve their systems. It is the ultimate risk management tool.
