3. Excerpts from ‘Internal Auditor’ Oct 2000 “ My first impression on internal auditing was totally wrong. I thought its only purpose was to catch management making mistakes, and I looked at it as intrusive. But I’m living proof that internal auditors can affect how they’re perceived. In my first five to eight years at Bon Secours Health System, I began to learn what can happen if you use an internal audit program effectively. My appreciation and awareness of the internal audit profession has only grown over time. Internal Auditors are a valuable part of any complex organisation, THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF AN ORGANISATION CRITICAL TO SUCCESS….” Chris Carney, Chief Executive Officer, Bon Secours Health Systems Inc.
4. “ We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit” Philosoper Aristotle Internal Audit Practices
5. What is habit? Habit is a result of our thoughts and repeated actions influenced by our desire, our knowledge and skill. Internal Audit Practices
6. ” Sow a thought, a right thought, reap an action, reap a habit - sow a habit, reap a character - reap the destiny of excellence”. Route Map: Thoughts --> Words --> Actions --> Habits --> Character --> Destiny Internal Audit Practices
7. Internal Audit Practices also need to follow the same route Thoughts - Be convinced that IA is value adding Words - Commit to Management/colleagues/Profession Actions - Practice, share, develop Habits - Repeat & Repeat Destiny of Excellence - Stand out & reach excellence Internal Audit Practices

9. Internal Audit redefined (by the Institute of Internal Auditors, Inc, USA – the International Body promoting the profession of Internal Auditing) “ Internal Auditing is an Independent and Objective Assurance and Consulting Activity that is Guided by a Philosophy of Adding Value to Improve the Operations of the Organisation. It Assists an Organisation in Accomplishing the Objectives by Bringing a Systematic and Disciplined Approach to Evaluate and Improve the Effectiveness of the Organisation’s Risk Management, Control, and Governing Processes.”
