This book examines key methodological and organizational questions
with regard to assessing the quality of internal audits. By
studying the status quo of these audits in the public sector,
including municipalities, it identifies relevant weaknesses,
loopholes and issues. In addition, the book assesses the strengths
and weaknesses of the approved control system to explain the
reasons why, and conditions under which, internal audits are
ineffective, and proposes new metric and non-metric indicators to
improve the quality of internal auditing. Given its scope, the book
offers a valuable guide for anyone responsible for financial
controls and internal audits, and will appeal to students and
financial practitioners alike.
This book provides a new evolutionary perspective on outsourcing.
The traditional prioritization of continuous outsourcing has
resulted in increased hidden costs that have sabotaged business
profits. As a result of undisciplined outsourcing, businesses have
lost a defining characteristic of their success: decision control.
In contrast, the ability to combine outsourcing with backsourcing
is a winning strategy for business leaders across a broad range of
industries. In this book, the author traces the essence of the
outsourcing industry as it has evolved over the past two centuries.
With compelling case studies from the pharmaceutical, aviation,
insurance, and cookware industries, this book moves beyond
theorizing. It highlights key insights from some of the leading
outsourcing pioneers who helped to define the industry. The case
studies demonstrate the evolution of outsourcing, from a past
marked by a costly outsourcing approach to a future fueled by the
diversification of sourcing for optimal business success. Through
the provision of decision models and best practices, this book
provides academics and practitioners with tangible steps to
implement successful outsourcing and backsourcing strategies.
