Your
Competitive Advantage
Also
known as ‘value for money’ or ‘performance auditing’, operational auditing
is
increasingly recognised as enhancing the role of the internal audit profession
as trusted advisors to senior management.
Introducing
operational/performance auditing into the internal audit toolkit will built a
more mature, resilient, useful and better equipped internal audit function. It
will also provide better support for senior management and executive boards and
advisory functions such as the audit advisory committees.
The
concepts of economy, efficiency and effectiveness - commonly referred to as the
three Es - form the basis of operational/performance auditing.
Operational/performance auditing is a means of assisting management in improving
its operations, not just identifying problems or weaknesses. These audits can
help organisations become more efficient, drive better performance and provide
more value.

training will explore the key differences for internal auditors to other types
