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. |
