Value Creation and preservation from an internal audit perspective. Changing stakeholder expectations and a new view of risk management are prompting an important shift in the role of internal audit (IA) in many organisations. New demands from the board, senior organisational leaders, and regulators are requiring internal audit groups to refocus their efforts beyond regulatory compliance issues. In this environment, many leaders have recognised the need for internal audit to play a larger role – one that expands on its historic focus on value preservation (a control focus) to encompass activities related to value creation (a performance focus). This white paper will discuss the new challenges internal audit departments face in the context of their evolving role and responsibilities. It will consider how IA can begin to address these challenges and thereby create value for organizations – thus reasserting its traditional role as an independent adviser.
