The role of auditors in tackling fraud: how we can get the best from our teams

Security Thought Leadership: in conversation with Martin Gill

There has long been debate about what the proper role of auditors should be in relation to tackling fraud. Two recent reviews revealed a real gap between reality and expectations of audit performance. Current guidance is that auditors should take a more holistic approach towards fraud. However, auditors cannot do this on their own. They need to carry out such duties in partnership with a much wider audience, including boards, management, audit committees, standard-setters, and regulators, but not all feel they have this.
This webinar will discuss:
- The roles both internal and external auditors undertake in tackling fraud
- How both sets of auditors can work better together
- Improving partnership working with other stakeholders for a more holistic approach to tackling fraud
Panellists:
Liz Sandwith - Chief Professional Practices Adviser, Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors
Rob Winter - Head of Internal Audit, Anti-Fraud and Assurance, Barnsley MBC
Gareth Mills - Director, Public Services at Grant Thornton UK LLP
