<See Details at the end of this email> Seats are limited so sign up now at www.iqpc.com! *************************************** I have been amazed by how much benefit can be derived from the internet. Since the beginning of the year I have done a lot of research on the internet on various issues. The audinet website has been extremely handy. I have downloaded many programmes which have made my work much easier. With the internet you save a lot of time. You have access to the work of experts at no cost to yourself. There is a lot of material exquisitely prepared by academics and non-academics alike. When I did an audit of the Disaster Recovery Planning, I got to read a lot of material from the internet. By the time I started the actual audit I had a good idea of this particular area which relatively new to me. The search engines are of great help though I mainly use just 2, Yahoo and Google. The great thing about these search engines is that you can use the advanced search facility to get exactly what you are looking for using the search tools to specify Age, type and other criteria of information required. Say for instance you want a PowerPoint presentation with the words "Internal Audit and Corporate Governance" in the document title, you can get exactly that. Over the weekend I gave a presentation on Internal Audit. I had downloaded a presentation from the website of the Institute of Internal Audit entitled Adding Value Across the Board. In addition to this I was able to download other PowerPoint presentations on Internal Audit and related issues such as Corporate Governance, Risk Management and developments in the Accounting Profession. I know that on my own I could not have come up with such a presentation! I also use the internet to keep abreast of developments in the Corporate world as well as academic developments in the accounting world. Accounting and auditing standards are available for download and are always updated on the relevant websites. I was able to follow such events as the fall of Enron, WorldCom and others in great detail thanks to the internet. I have no doubt that Internal Audit is now being seen in a different light as a result of various developments in the world over the past year. The internet enables one to learn something new everyday...Internal auditors need to be aware of what is happening all the time! Bruce T.
