Speaking as a long time internal and external IT auditor I would suggest there 
is a bearing and it's inverted once you exceed a certain organizational size 
and discount the outliers (mom&pops on the low end, national security systems 
on the high end). It's also best applied to industries or sectors, not 
individual organizations.  It's the standard do as I say, not as I do / who 
watches the watchers / ugly baby syndrome problem.  Of course that is anecdotal 
but conversations with peers over the years seem to bear it out.
