Many organizations are restructuring responsibiities, ensuring governance and monitoring functions collaborate more closely to avoid duplication. With this change comes an additional weight for the chief audit executive; they may be asked to assume responsibilities for risk management, compliance, and other governance functions. Navigating through this process can be challenging; as a result, this guidance was developed to assist practitioners in making effective decisions regarding roles and responsibilities to assume related governance of risk management and controls.

Internal Audit and the Second Line of Defense offers guidance and recommendations for audit practitioners, especially chief audit executives, to ensure independence and objectivity are not compromised in situations where internal audit may be responsible for second line of defense activities.

The IIA’s Practice Guides are for IIA members only, a great member benefit.

Congratulations to our LA-Chapter team highlight Douglas “Doug” Hilemen who graced the platform last month with a presentation on “Managing Risks & Levering Opportunities for Non-Financial Reporting” in San Francisco, CA for a worlds leading biomedical optics company who specializes in research, innovations, products and services.

Doug’s further elaboration on “NON-Financial Reporting” was a relevant caveat to the public and advocacy to the field of internal auditing which is often tangled with financial based audits. He further added that the momentum has risen to discourse the many frameworks and industry standards that have not been addressed in typical audits which leaves the door open to the risk of and opportunity for non compliance.
