When Asking Questions be Modern and Confident Synopsis Questions need to be asked with confidence.‘An understanding of modern management responsibilities is fundamental to the asking of all questions.’ This understanding includes management principles, tools and the use of technology today and tomorrow. Each has an impact on cutting edge resources and practices in internal auditing and the services it provides.

Adapted by the author from his Introduction to Leading Edge Internal Auditing (1998). (The then current developments have changed little!)

After Reading the Case Study Consider:
4. How well do you understand modern management principles and practices?
5. How well do you understand technology today and its developments for the future?
6. Do your internal auditing engagements include questions on how management is managing today and in the future?
7. Do your internal auditing engagements include questions on the use of technology today and in the future?
