The handbook is based on the audit work of SAP??'s global internal audit department, which has been certified directly by the Institute of Internal Auditors. It presents the Audit Roadmap, the process model of internal auditing developed at SAP??, describing all stages of an audit. The in-depth description provides information on issues such as the identification of audit fields, the annual audit planning, the organization and execution of audits as well as reporting and follow-up. The handbook also discusses management-related subjects, e.g. the organizational structure of an internal audit department. Separate chapters are dedicated to special topics like IT or SOX audits. The book also includes a CD for computer-based learning containing templates to put specific elements of theory into practice. Since the handbook is based on practical experience and gives numerous examples from audit practice it may serve as a guide to internal auditing for persons new in the field as well as provide experienced internal audit professionals with new insights. |

| Publisher Description: Everything starts with an idea, and this book is no exception. At frst, the various thoughts and discussions were focused on the original intention to "merely" create a job introduction for new Internal Audit employees. Tis plan has since evolved into a comprehensive, up-to-date presentation of the tasks and challenges facing Internal Audit, in a format and on a scale hitherto unrivalled in the market. Tere are very few units in the company that have been subject to such a m- jor change process in recent years as Internal Audit. Tis applies irrespective of company size as corporations adapt to developments in information technology, corporate governance, legal requirements, and global best practices. For large co- porations, the change process typically involves restructuring, expanding, and i- ternationalizing the existing department, while smaller and medium-sized comp- nies face the challenges associated with setting up such a department for the frst time. For this reason, we have not produced this book with a specifc audience or sector in mind. Rather, we have tried to present the idea of Internal Audit so comprehensively that readers can get from it the information they require for their particular situations. Te target audience of this handbook could not be more varied, and we hope that a large cross-section of managers and employees from Internal Audit, compl- ance, risk, and corporate management will beneft from reading it. |
