- Title
Internal Audit: A New Lens for Cost Management.
- Authors
Friedman, Mark; Akaaboune, Ouadie; Margolis, Donna M.
- Abstract
The authors of this article see internal audit as a within-firm tool that provides a new lens for cost management. Today, the role that the internal audit function plays in improving firm performance is being redefined. In part, this is because in today's fast-paced economy, decisions are made quickly, and businesses need to draw on all of their resources to achieve competitive advantage. And, say the authors, the internal audit function is a natural fit for assisting in this newfound role-more than any other function in the organization. Internal audit will prove to be very useful as cost management takes an increasingly central role in strategy development. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
