Annual Audit Conference

Article Abstract:

The Annual Audit Conference in the United Kingdom was held on October 26-27, 1983 in London, England. The Audit Commission's Controller of Audit, John Banham, selected the Achievements of the Audit Commission as his central topic. Patrica Brown, an Under-Secretary, discussed internal auditing in the central government focusing on the need for management to attend to internal audit findings. David DeWan, the Assistant Auditor General of the Exchequer and Audit Department, addressed the meeting on the external audit of central government and the effects of the National Audit Act of 1983. Professor John Stewart of the Institute of Local Government Studies instructed government auditors to know the local government body in auditing and to learn from their errors. Noel Hepworth, Director of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, assured auditors that their jobs are necessary, but their perceptions of their professional role need to be adjusted. Tom Walls, Senior Partner of Price Waterhouse, spoke on independence of internal auditors as well as the relationship between internal and external auditors in local government.

The future for internal audit

Article Abstract:

Internal auditors will have to revise their approaches to cope with future market changes. The need to modify internal auditing strategies is a result of the government's proposed inclusion of professional services in compulsory competitive tendering. Looking ahead to 1997, the effects of the legislative changes will be markedly felt with the reduction in the demand for in-house audit services.
