The highly popular Internal Auditing Around the World series tracks the growth and evolution of the internal audit industry and its professionals, who continue to rise to the ever-expanding demands created by the complexities of managing risks, monitoring controls, improving corporate governance and capitalizing on opportunities in international markets. This series should be of great interest to internal audit professionals, as well as CEOs, CFOs and boards of directors worldwide.
Volume 5
Without question, the risk landscape has changed dramatically since 2005, when Protiviti published the first volume of Internal Auditing Around the World. Four years ago, many organizations were investing more in their internal audit functions as they sought to comply with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Not surprisingly, internal auditors today find themselves in a very different place and facing challenges difficult to imagine just a short time ago.
How are internal audit functions helping their organizations adapt and even succeed in these unprecedented times? This year's guide features 11 successful international companies that are undergoing significant changes, such as restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and industry transformation. These organizations include Continental Airlines, Microsoft and Unilever, among others. As detailed in the publication, Protiviti learned that these organizations have not only adapted successfully, but that they also have uncovered many untapped opportunities.

Volume 4
The fourth volume of Protiviti's Internal Auditing Around the World examines the challenges and successes of 19 top-performing internal audit teams, many operating with only a handful of full-time personnel – some staff members working on-site, others based in different business units and distant locations. One of the key takeaways from the internal audit functions profiled in this publication is that today’s internal auditors are actively striving to be highly visible to the entire operation. And while regulatory compliance remains a top concern for many internal audit teams, it is not always taking center stage. Instead, auditors are being called on more often to act as business advisors and strategic consultants, helping their organizations to seize new opportunities in global markets, identify and manage risks, and promote best practices throughout the enterprise.
The internal audit functions featured in this publication represent organizations headquartered in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as a diverse group of industries, which includes aviation, entertainment, financial services, food processing, mining, manufacturing, publishing and technology. Companies profiled in this volume include Alitalia, Cirque du Soleil, Electronic Arts, Harvard University and Reader's Digest, among others.

Volume 3
What drives top-performing internal audit functions today? Internal Auditing Around the World, in its third volume, tells the stories of 16 successful internal audit functions and examines common denominators that separate these leaders from their peers. While there certainly are differences among these profiled companies, they share a number of important similarities in terms of philosophies, approaches, performance measurements and lessons learned - and perhaps most notably, the core concept driving IA activities within these organizations is adding value.
Volume 3 captures innovative voices in a wide range of countries and industries. Organizations from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States share their insights and experiences in such industries as financial services, nonprofit, healthcare, life sciences, technology, food and beverage, and entertainment. Companies profiled in this volume include ABN AMRO, CA, Foster's Group, Royal Philips and Wells Fargo, among others.
