This article will explain why
training is so important to the
success of internal audit. Several
new initiatives will be outlined
covering the IIA's new internal
audit competencies, the NVQ
scheme, learning and the so called
``expert'', along with a newly
developed three circles model.
The material is intended to allow
audit management to assess
where its audit shop stands in
terms of its current strategy. The
next step is to carry out a formal
assessment of the staff
development strategy by using the
enclosed checklist. Keeping up to
date is essential since no audit
shop can afford to be left behind.
We are concerned with developing
your staff. The top and bottom line
revolves around this all-important
concept. The next step is to
establish whether you are in a
position to live up to your
contention. Test your position ± if
you mean to do more than merely
pay lip service to staff
development, you might consider
the material in this article and
work out how much you are
already doing and how much
further you may need to go.
