Internal Audit and Compliance

The book shows the basics of internal auditing, with a view to compliance. The legal section deals with essential legal issues of both corporate functions. The operative part is oriented towards the typical auditing tasks and auditing processes in the private sector and in the public sector context - with a reflection on the tasks of compliance. The focus is on a pragmatic, practical presentation, explanation and implementation of the professional principles and best practices of internal auditing. The work provides a sound overview of the fundamentals and origins of compliance and auditing work - refreshingly going beyond the otherwise purely legal framework. The reference to current issues, combined with a direct and frank examination of errors and weaknesses in the corporate compliance system, make the book well worth reading. Jörg Nierhaus, LL.
