Government Internal Audit Ideas: Very interesting Powerpoint from Internal Audit Consultant Protiviti on auditing large contracts and cost savings
This was a very good and detailed 57 page presentation given to the Puget Sound (Seattle) area Institute of Internal Auditors. Protiviti is a major international outsourcer of Internal Audit. It is a very good list of items to look for.
I found that they also now provide services to outsource contract management. So they are invading a stolid profession.
Protiviti is known for being cost savings focused, so that is how they get into firms where existing staff are not doing the same.
LOOK at the funny “contractor quality awards” pictures at the end. Some pictures look like reconstruction audit reports in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Also notice the “confidential” statement on the bottom, but this was posted on an IIA chapter website hosted by the IIA.
