The
Value Proposition of Internal Auditing in Government
An AGA/NASACT TRAINING AUDIO CONFERENCE
July 21, 2004
2
CPE Hours Available!
NASACT, in conjunction
with the Association of Government Accountants, the National
Association of Local Government Auditors, and the Institute for
Internal Auditors, is pleased to announce the latest in its
series of audio conferences addressing timely issues in
government financial management.
This audio conference
discusses the roles and responsibilities of internal auditors
and the value that the internal audit function provides to
organizations. Internal auditing is an independent, objective
assurance and consulting activity that adds value to and
improves organizational operations. It helps organizations
accomplish objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined
approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk
management, control and corporate processes.
Internal auditors assist
organizations in the effective discharge of responsibilities,
promoting the establishment of cost-effective controls,
assessing risks, and recommending measures to mitigate those
risks. Internal auditors are an
integral part of
management teams and assist management with analyses,
appraisals, counsel, and the development of programmatic
information. They also monitor the organization's ethics, a
critical role in light of recent corporate scandals.
When internal auditing
is accepted and acknowledged by government leaders as a
management activity, internal auditors can fulfill their most
fundamental role which is helping management and senior
leadership achieve their broad objectives.
Please join us for this
informative training session as we hear from a panel of experts
on how internal auditing is providing accountability and
enhancing government performance. Panelists include
representatives from the Institute of Internal Auditors as well
as representatives from all three levels of government. In
addition to presentations from our speakers, there will be
approximately 25 minutes for Q&A so that participants may ask
questions and share their own experiences.
