Internal auditors should contribute to the collective public good.
The U.K. government’s recent launch of its Civil Society Strategy recognizes the social responsibility government and internal auditors have for creating the society we want to live in. Civil society in the U.K. today is not just about the well-being of the nation and everyone who lives there — it reflects the contributions we all make through our values to well-being in other civil societies across the globe. Those values are internal auditors’ greatest asset and resource. They also are what internal auditing is based on and should be all about.
