Based on CBOK research, study examines how audit executives strike an optimal balance between assurance and consulting services <\/em><\/p>\n

LAKE MARY, Fla. (March 12, 2019) <\/strong>\u2014The Internal Audit Foundation announced today the release of a new research report, Striking an Optimal Balance Between Assurance and Consulting Services \u2013 Practical Insights from Internal Audit Leaders<\/a><\/em>, based on the Foundation\u2019s comprehensive Common Body of Knowledge study. <\/p>\n

The report, developed in partnership with Protiviti, was authored by Karen Brady, CIA, CRMA, CFE, who is Vice President of Audit and Chief Compliance Officer at Baptist Health South Florida. <\/p>\n

As part of the research for this report, chief audit executives (CAEs) were asked to provide insight into how they balance assurance responsibilities with the types of consulting and advisory work that boards and management teams increasingly are requesting from their internal audit function. Audit executives described an ironclad commitment to maintaining internal audit objectivity and prioritizing internal audit\u2019s assurance services over all other activities. However, the need for internal audit objectivity does not preclude them from successfully providing a wide range of internal audit advisory services, according to the report. <\/p>\n

CAEs whose audit functions devoted 20 percent or more of their resources to advisory work said that it is not difficult to maintain objectivity as long as a handful of key practices are followed. Those practices are described in the report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The consulting practices and approaches shared by the audit executives are compelling reading, in large part because of the benefits that resulted from their approaches \u2014 benefits for both the internal auditors and for the organizations and stakeholders they serve. <\/p>\n

The report is one in a series stemming from the Internal Audit Foundation Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK) study. CBOK is the world\u2019s largest ongoing study of the internal audit profession. Like all reports in the CBOK Stakeholder and Practitioners series, this new report is available free of charge at the CBOK Research Exchange (www.theiia.org\/CBOK<\/a>). It is also available at the Protiviti website (www.protiviti.com<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n
