The Challenge of Comprehensive Auditing
Article Abstract:
Comprehensive auditing was unveiled in Canada in 1978, with great expectations. It is based on the ideas of value for money and accountability. It consists of examining and recommending improvements to financial and management controls, with the aim of assessing the efficiency of human and physical resources. It is not a panacea for poor management or a tool for second guessing decision makers. It is fully established under the federal auditor general. It is gaining acceptance in Canada and elsewhere.
