Team Leader’s Guide to Internal Audit Leadership

The book is tailored for team leaders, aimed at helping to shape, expand, and advance the knowledge of an increasingly important stakeholder group (team leaders). It provides fresh, timely, and higher-level insights on the expanding role of team leaders, and the need for them to deliver internal auditing services on a day-to-day basis that optimize the value proposition for the benefit of internal audit’s stakeholders.

The role of team leaders is being reshaped at a relatively rapid pace to accommodate the recognition of chief audit executives (CAEs) as trusted advisors within the C-suite. This book helps them transition to a higher level by providing practical, meaningful ideas to optimize internal audit’s value proposition through attuned, balanced, and credible day-to-day audit engagement activities.

While there is useful guidance available for CAEs, there is a gap in the practical guidance available specifically for team leaders as they assume a broader role in support of their CAEs. This book provides that practical guidance.
