What’s the one thing you hate most about internal auditing?
I don’t mean in the esoteric, big-picture, strategic, why-are-we-here way. I mean, what in the day-to-day, week-to-week, and month-to-month processes that keep the internal audit engine running do you approach with trepidation, fear, and loathing? What activities make you physically sick with their repetitiveness, wastefulness, and uselessness?
In other words, if you could change one thing, what would it be?
And then the follow up question: Why haven’t you changed it?
