This book is a compilation if all my internal auditing handbooks previously published individually. It contains comprehensive procedures to carry out and questions to be asked that will enable small/medium sized businesses to evaluate their current operations and effect improvements which will produce an efficient, cost effective and profitable business. **Students can gain experience of business operations by using one of the chapters in this book to carry out a basic assessment of a specific part of School Business operations or a business owned by a friend of the school ** Internal Auditing and Management Consultancy are two sides of the same coin. Internal audits can carried out by a qualified and experienced senior Director or Manager who is trusted by the staff to carry out a full and fair assessment and recommend genuine changes needed to effect improvements. In my opinion outside sources should only be called in if there is no suitably qualified staff member.
