Internal auditors must have a ‘beyond business acumen’
#ThoughtfulTuesday
“It’s impossible to predict every situation, but when something does happen are we ready to move?” Posing this important question was Dr Claudelle von Eck, CEO of the Institute of Internal Auditors of South Africa, at a Unisa Risk Management Seminar on 8 September 2016.
Dr Claudelle von Eck (CEO of the Institute of Internal Auditors of South Africa) was speaking at a Unisa Risk Management Seminar on 8 September 2016. She believes it’s time for internal auditors to reinvent themselves and the profession. “Internal auditors must have a ‘beyond business acumen’. They need to be fluid dreamers who can re-imagine and move into a higher order of thinking,” she said.
Von Eck, who is a Unisa alumna as well as the former President of the Unisa Convocation and a Council member, had the challenge of discussing whether internal audit is a hindrance or enabler. No doubt opinion is divided on this.
