Member You - Improving the Internal Audit Process
As I was reading the Bible sometime this week my eyes fell on a verse that set my heart pumping hard. My lips went dry as I tried to ruminate overwhat I had just read. The words in Proverbs 18:9 were very clear in my mind:"He who is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys."(Slack means not willing to work/lazy/not work well/slothful) These are the very words in the verse that I read. (My aim is not to preach here but to give you insights of how we should conduct ourselves at the workplace to maximize what we have worked for so hard).The words hit me like a thunderbolt.
Youth sports fundraisers can be painful for parents, so here are some easy baseball fundraiser ideas. Most Little League teams need to raise funds to cover expenses such as field maintenance, uniforms, umpires, etc. The money raised by selling advertising space at the ball fields and by doing the portrait fund raiser only goes so far.So what are some easy Little League fundraisers and what can you do to maximize the funds raised? Let's take a look at traditional candy sales, discount cards, and some event ideas.Candy sales Just about every youth sports team on the planet has done a candy sale at some point, but did you know that ther
The time constraints on individuals makes it harder to free employees up to plan, execute, document and follow up an internal audit. The effort to transition internal audits to improvement based, does not make that issue any easier. In order to conduct a meaningful, effective audit that promotes and facilitates continual improvement, the auditor must spend an adequate time preparing. The preparation of the audit dictates how effective it will be.
If we want to improve a process, what is the first step? In all my years as a quality practitioner, I have heard and deeply believed that the first step to improvement is measuring. If something is not measured, you should not expect to improve it. The first step to improving the internal audit process is to measure it. How do you measure it? The internal audit process is a ratio that relates the relative importance of the findings or results of the audit. To keep things easy to un
The successful modern recruiter must now eschew resumes for a vast web of relationships. A successful recruiter must develop an active and dynamic circle of talented people who have skills and abilities that can be matched to the ever-changing needs of hiring managers.The recruiter will stay connected to her talent circle through email, e-letters, the telephone and even face-to-face contact. The circle will constantly change as new referrals are made by current members. But no one in the network will consider themselves members, rather participants within a group that benefits everyone. The benefits include sharing of ideas, the ability to help

Are you in a job now where you feel stuck? One that you hate? Do find that you are putting in all your time just to bring home a paycheck? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, there are things you can do to make positive changes and the most powerful change you can make is deciding to become an entrepreneur.In surveys conducted at some of the major universities in the United States students are asked what their top career choice is. They seldom list becoming a doctor, lawyer, or even becoming president of the United States. Becoming an “entrepreneur” is consistently the top career choice of most students.Surveys of worki

Heavy construction equipment requires a lot of capital investments. When the companies opt to buy these types of heavy construction equipments then they look out for the used equipments that may be on sale in the local market. This helps them in various manners. Companies sometime get used heavy construction equipment which are as good as new but the cost is much lesser than that offered in the showroom. Moreover, buying heavy construction equipment from the local market reduces the transportation cost as well. These overheads not look good in the balance sheet as they lead to increase in the project costs.Financing is a major concern while buyi
Describing these three factors with an equation we have the following:
V = (E + 2I)/C
Where V = the audit value, E= the number of findings associated with effectiveness, I= the number of findings associated with improvement and C= the number of compliance related findings. The resulting equation will yield a value or index you can use as a reference measurement, the higher the index the more improvement focused the audit activity is, the lower the number reflects a focus on standard compliance.
I am not suggesting to disregard compliance to a standard, I am contending the focus of the audit should be improvement, effectiveness and compliance. Too often compliance is the single biggest focus when conducting audits. There is not much value in finding out that an employee did not complete a form correctly on a given day. An isolated one time event is useless as a tool to improve a managemen
