"How can you argue with the core principles of Lean, that you focus
on what provides value to your customer and eliminate work that is
not necessary (muda)? Internal auditors need to understand not only
who their primary customers are, but what is valuable to them -
which in most cases is assurance that the risks that matter to the
achievement of objectives are properly managed. We need to
communicate what they need to know and not what we want to say.
This incessant focus on the customer and the efficient production
of a valued product should extend to every internal audit team. How
else can we ensure that we optimize the use of our limited
resources to address the dynamic business and risk environment
within which our organizations operate?" Norman Marks, GRC Thought
Leader Using lean techniques to enhance value add and reduce waste
in internal auditing Lean Auditing is a practical guide to
maximising value and efficiency in internal audit through the
application of lean techniques. It is an ideal book for anyone
interested in understanding what progressive, value adding audit
can be like. It is also ideal for anyone wondering whether audit
activities can be streamlined or better co-ordinated with other
activities. The book contains practical advise from the author's
experience as CAE of AstraZeneca PLC; from his work as a consultant
specializing in this field; as well as insights from leading CAEs
in the UK, US and elsewhere. In addition, there are important
insights from thought leaders such as Richard Chambers (IIA US) and
Norman Marks (GRC thought leader) and Chris Baker (Technical
Manager of the IIA UK). Increasing pressure on resources is driving
a need for greater efficiency in all areas of business, and
Internal Audit is no exception. Lean techniques can help streamline
the workflow, but having only recently been applied to IA, lack the
guidance available for other techniques. Lean Auditing fills this
need by combining expert instruction and actionable advice that
helps Internal Auditors: * Benchmark their efficiency against lean
ways of working * Understand warning signs of waste and lower added
value * Understanding practical ways of working that improve added
value and reduce waste * Gain confidence about progressive ways of
working in internal audit * Understand how improved ways of working
in audit can positively impact the culture of the wider
organization One of the keys to the lean audit is finding out
exactly what the stakeholder wants, and eliminating everything
else. Scaling back certain operations can delineate audit from
advisory, and in the process, dramatically improve crucial
outcomes. To this end, Lean Auditing is the key to IA efficiency.
