when ever we need to determine the objectivity of internal auditor we need to determine whether the organisation has the high status or not.
high organisation status indicate high objectivity of internal auditor, what is organisation high status mean?what are the example of high organisation status of organisation
November 17, 2014 at 9:42 pm #210806Where have you found the expression “high organization status”?
I can’t believe that it’s a quote from me!
I’ve just checked google and your post is the second on the search for “high organization status”
You’ve quoted the expressin to me so you have either read it or you’ve made it up!
If you’ve made it up, then maybe I should be asking you what it means
If you’ve read it, the text from which you quote should itself explain it.
But it’s not an expression with which I am familiar – sorry 🙁

it is written, page no 209
assessing the objectivity of internal auditorganisation status —- high organisation status may indicate greater objectivity.does internal audit function report to those charged with governance,or merely to management ?
conflicting responsibilities— does internal audit has other responsibilities
that affect its objectivity?November 18, 2014 at 7:22 am #210861This is in relation to the structure of the client and who the internal auditor reports to.
It implies that if the internal audit function is at the operational level reporting to functional managers then the work of the ia department will not be objective as there will be a self review threat as they work with the people whom they are auditing they will not want to upset the relationship.
On the other hand if they are a separate department reporting to the audit committee then we can utilise the work of them as they are independent and their objectivity will not be impaired.

Ashok, the extract from the sentence tells you what is meant!
“to those charged with governance,or merely to management” should do it for you
Ok?
Elsie, is 3 hours 35 minutes too slow for you?
