Integrated Assurance

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Understanding the principles of joined up and coordinated risk management and internal control is increasingly key to becoming an effective director, member of senior management or head of internal audit and related assurance functions in the corporate and public sectors. This book explains the background cogently, draws on much current thinking from around the world and gives useful practical insights about effective processes. Vicky Kubitscheck writes intelligently, identifies her sources well and draws on her own considerable experiences in this important field.'
- Martyn Jones, President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales

'Risk assessment and management of risk are two key activities at board, management and operational levels in all organisations. In this analysis of the processes of risk-taking the author has cleverly woven her knowledge and experiences of the practices of risk management and assurance, creating a unique integrated framework of guidance for risk oversight and risk-taking. Understanding and using this framework is a must for all seeking governance excellence and for those who provide assurances on governance - management, auditors and regulators.'
- Jeffrey Ridley, University of Lincoln, UK and First Past President of now Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors, United Kingdom and Ireland. Author of Cutting Edge Internal Auditing

'With increased regulatory focus on how ethics, culture and governance are connected in our organisations,
this book offers a highly developed framework and practical tools to ensure all the bases are covered while
building a join-up response. Increased regulation also risks resources being wasted by over-lapping or
misdirected approaches. In this book, we see a particularly refined coherent approach, utilising specialist
expertise and current best practice.'
- David Jackman, Director of The Ethical Space and Chair of the Ethics Foundation.
Formerly Head of Business Ethics at the Financial Services Authority, UK
