"Scandals have undermined investor confidence in the management of firms and drawn global attention to how Management Boards of public firms are in-control of their operations. These scandals cleared the way for corporate governance committees to define new requirements on the control systems of public firms. However, the requirements of these committees did not prevent new problems with a number of firms, some of which published an in-control statement. This raises questions with respect to the effectiveness and completeness of the control of these firms, suggesting that possible quintessential elements or aspects are missing. The internal audit profession has been involved only indirectly in the discussion on corporate governance in the Netherlands. This thesis explores a theory of internal audit in relation to the nature and the control systems of Dutch public listed firms. This thesis explores literature and current practices to obtain a clear view of internal audits theoretical and practical contributions to the reasons of existence and scope of work in the control system of a firm"--Cover.

Agency theory underpins the concept of governance and the role of internal auditing. Recent studies question both the legitimacy and practicality of an agency oriented governance paradigm in determining an organization's control paradigm, arguing instead for a multi-theoretical approach to governance. This study explores this multi-theoretical proposition with a number of public universities throughout the world using a multiple case study approach to illustrate the concept of the changing control paradigm and its implications for internal auditing. The findings illustrates that the governance of public universities are informed by multiple theories and suggests that the theoretical foundation of internal audit should now also be aligned with a multi-theoretical approach to governance to achieve its role of enhancing governance. The study provides opportunities for further research with other industry sectors to explore the findings that have policy implications for redefining the governance control paradigm and theoretical foundations of control monitoring functions such as internal audit.

This book investigates how corporate governance is directing the internal audit function (IAF) adaptation as a response to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. To date, there is insufficient knowledge about the adaptations of the IAF, which are required if it is to maintain its essential role as a governance mechanism. This book extends the reader’s knowledge by exploring and theorising the adaptation of the IAF after ERP introduction and points towards future trends. Adopting an institutional approach, it analyses how the IAF responds to the external governance pressures and the internal pressures of the control logic following the introduction of an ERP system. Featuring data from two listed companies in the food and beverage sector and two large banks operating in Egypt, this volume will be of interest to researchers and academics in the field of financing and ERP systems in particular.

Subsequent to preceding literature research, access to multiple case studies was gained through a snapshot questionnaire. Sixteen semi-structured interviews of heads of Internal Audit (CAE) and members of Senior Management (SM) in the same organization were conducted. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, and data analysis software was used to explore the data. This research augments the understanding of Internal Auditing (IA) effectiveness by studying organizational, personal, and particularly interpersonal factors framed by the lenses of Role Theory (Kahn et al. 1964) and supplemented by the Theory of Relational Coordination (Gittel 2006). Within the specific German Corporate Governance context, where SM is generally regarded as the “chief stakeholder” of IA, the study reveals differences between more or less effective IA functions (IAFs) and addresses questions of a “why” type. Customer satisfaction as a key concept when measuring IA effectiveness can easily be misleading, as expectations in practice vary significantly, and, sometimes, only very little may be demanded. Interpersonal factors can enhance or detract from IA effectiveness. CAEs who interact frequently and timely with SM using problem-solving communication nurture IA effectiveness, especially when such communication is supported by shared goals, shared knowledge, and mutual respect. Organizational factors play an important role, evidenced by “hidden champions” that demand and benefit from effective IA practices. Personality factors also affect IA effectiveness. “Swimming in the organization” and “Fingerspitzengefühl” are suggested metaphors for effective internal auditors while added value of IA designations for CAEs was not found in practice.

Cutting Edge Internal Auditing provides guidance and knowledge for every internal auditor, encouraging each to pioneer new ground in the development of their professional practices in all risk management, control and governance processes. Serving as an excellent reference guide that develops a pattern of internal auditing now and for the future, this book explores the concept of 'cutting edge' internal auditing as an imaginative adventure: demonstrating how this has influenced and will continue to influence the development of professionalism in internal auditing. Built on the foundations of Jeffrey Ridley's extensive internal auditing experience across the public and private sectors, the author uses his articles and research to explore and develop the motivations, goals and categories of innovation in internal auditing today. It develops and brings up to date an imaginative internal auditing model, created and used by the author in the early 1980s, drawing on research and guidance by The Institute of Internal Auditors Inc., its Research Foundation and the Institute of Internal Auditors - UK and Ireland. Each chapter stands alone by focusing on an individual internal auditing theme, considered from both the perspective of internal auditing and its customers to suggest an appropriate vision as a goal for every internal audit activity. Each chapter also includes self-assessment questions to challenge the readers understanding of its messages. Companion website contains some of the author's training slides and seventy case studies, many written by leading internal audit practitioners, this book creates a vision for future cutting edge internal auditing.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 75% (1,0), University of Glamorgan (Business School), course: Issues in Auditing, language: English, abstract: This essay deals with the demand for audit functions and the resulting expectations in auditors’ work. The credibility of mandated disclosure of financial statements is the central issue for regulatory bodies attempting to protect the public interest. This requirement gives rise to a demand for auditing services. Since the beginning of the audit profession theories were made in order to specify and determine the audit functions. The ‘agency-theory’ is associated with the conflicting interests of shareholders and management of a company, suggesting that the less-informed party (shareholders) will have a demand for information that monitors the behaviour of the better-informed manager. Thus, audits of financial reports would be one form of such information, providing the shareholders with independent assurance about the ongoing developments. The ‘lending credibility theory’ is similar to the agency-theory and states that audited financial statements can enhance stakeholders’ faith in management’s stewardship. Another theory is the ‘theory of inspired confidence’, whereby stakeholders demand accountability from the management as an exchange for their contribution to the company. The last discussed theory is the ‘policeman theory’ which narrows auditor’s responsibilities to prevention and detection of fraud. All these theories describe the expectations the stakeholders have of the auditors, including protection against fraud, warning of future insolvency, general reassurance of financial well-being, safeguards for auditor independence and understanding of audit reports. Although these expectations seem to be rather natural, however, an audit expectations gap does exist based mostly on the diversity of views about the audit function. The gap exists between what the public expects the auditor to do and what the auditor can and should do. Several suggestions were made to narrow the expectations gap, as well as providing statutes in order to describe audit functions especially concerning the responsibility to detect and report errors and fraud.

In this work, G.A. Swanson and Hugh Marsh present an interpretive and analytical study of the function of internal auditing, not only from the viewpoint of its role in an organization, but also in regard to the role it plays in the economics of societies and governments. They create a theory of internal auditing and place it within the context of a scientific conceptual framework called Living Systems Theory. Using this approach, they are able to provide a basis for developing a systematic theoretical framework of internal auditing, as well as a theory based on observable, measurable entities. The book begins with a survey of the auditing profession and an introduction to the basic principles of the Living Systems Theory. From this base, Swanson and Marsh discuss a series of specific issues and areas of concern in internal auditing, including its functions, profession, and history, and its professional standards. Subsequent chapters address such topics as money-information, non-monetary quantitative information, estimating compound measurement and forecasting error, non-quantitative assessments, concrete process analysis and living systems process analysis, and ethics. Throughout the book, Swanson and Marsh identify the advantages of using the living systems theory to advance the knowledge and understanding of organizations, and also propose a higher level of internal audit functions that can advance modern societies. This work will be an important tool for members of the accounting and auditing professions, for students of business and accounting practices, and for professionals in other business and finance positions.
