CBOK Co-chairs Dick Anderson and Jean Coroller wish to give thanks and special recognition to the volunteer committees around the world who supported the project and the CBOK Project Development Team.
CBOK 2015 Stakeholder Survey
Surveys, interviews, and data analysis for the stakeholder study were conducted by Protiviti in partnership with IIA institutes around the world to identify:
- Internal audit practices and activities that are most highly valued by boards and audit committees, along with those that are not.
- How to maintain the alignment of the various stakeholder expectations of internal auditing.
- Opportunities to build and reinforce the relationship between board and audit committee members and internal audit staff.
- Best practices regarding performance monitoring, communications, and reporting of internal audits by boards and audit committees.
