Abstract
For many years, Internal Audit stayed on the sidelines of day-to-day business operations and was generally perceived as a group of “box-checkers,” feared rather than valued as a control body at the behest of corporate management. We hope that the exploration contained in this handbook has changed this perception and, using the developments at SAP as an example, refuted it at least in part. Even if some elements of these original views persist, the first important steps toward a changed perception of Internal Audit have been taken.
