Achieving a world-class Internal Audit function

SOX derailed many Internal Audit departments from continuing on a path of providing a value-added, consultative service.  Since SOX has become more 'routine' over the past few years, IA departments are again striving to morph into a business support organization.  As an SVP of Internal Audit (CAE), I created the attached slides to describe to my Audit Committee and executive leadership the path forward and key elements of achieving a world-class IA function.  The key slide is the fourth page... it should be presented and debated within all companies.
