As the GFC has graphically
demonstrated, all organisations
need to place an ever-increasing
emphasis on the audit function.
The September issue of Risk
will feature a comprehensive
Special Report on audit,
examining in particular its role
in ensuring better corporate
governance and strategic risk
management.
The report will feature interviews
with some of the industry’s
leading practitioners who will focus
on ways in which the audit function
can be used to combat an escalating
range of internal and external threats
to business continuity, as well as
case studies illustrating how specific
companies have maximised the bang
they get from the bucks they spend
on auditing.
