R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The observance of International Internal Audit
  Awareness Month in May 2019 provides an opportunity to recognize
  the many ways in which internal auditors help businesses,
  organizations, and government agencies accomplish their goals and
  fulfill their missions; and
         WHEREAS, Committed to objectivity and independence, internal
  auditors establish and enforce high standards for efficiency,
  effectiveness, and ethics; they use a systematic, disciplined
  approach to ensure that policies, procedures, and controls are in
  place and working appropriately; and
         WHEREAS, Employing a risk-based approach, internal auditors
  review and monitor an organization's processes and activities in
  order to protect assets and information; they detect and prevent
  fraud, security breaches, noncompliance, and inefficiencies that
  could imperil operations; and
         WHEREAS, Internal auditing is becoming an increasingly
  sophisticated field, requiring specialized knowledge, training,
  and education, and the Institute of Internal Auditors maintains a
  globally recognized code of ethics and standards to guide
  professionals; and
         WHEREAS, The work of internal auditors strengthens
  organizations and ensures that they are accountable to their
  stakeholders, whether those stakeholders are investors or the
  general public, and it is indeed fitting to recognize the crucial
  role they play; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize May 2019 as International Internal
  Audit Awareness Month.
