Agents of Change
Greek philosopher Heraclitus noted that nothing is permanent except change. But in the twenty-first century, change – dynamic, technology-driven, explosive – has the power to disrupt or discover. Interrupt or innovate, bankrupt or bankroll all at lightening speeds.
In Agents of Change: Internal Auditors in an Era of Disruption, Richard F. Chambers makes a compelling case that internal auditors must embrace change and strive to create value within their organizations. Combining data from a survey of chief audit executives, as well as tapping into four decades of learning, observation and experience, Chambers lays out the necessary steps for practitioners to improve processes, mindsets and skill sets. Whether you are new to internal auditing or a seasoned professional, Chambers provides clear and convincing direction to elevate your skills and put you on the path toward becoming an Agent of Change.
