...but I am surprised with unawareness of "rotation of internal auditors".
:topic: - :bonk: Here's my rotation schedule - In every day of work I'm expected do wear as many 'hats' as is needed :magic:

Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't have any experience with folks having too many auditors and needing to rotate them in a typical organization. Now for a Registrar or Consultants (being in a particullarly small subset niche) - IF that is the scope of the question - the request would make sense and should have been so identified.

Apparently Sidney, me ole brain needs a little more exercise - :mg: that didn't occur to me when I first responded.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the OP is asking about rotating auditing assigments. ie - this time I audit plant 1, next time plant 2, third time purchasing, ..... I'm guessing it's a non-native English speaker issue since the OP is in Malta.

It is a good approach to prevent boredom of auditors, get fresh eyes in areas, prevent auditors from becoming complacent, etc. I don't off hand know where I read the pros/cons of this, but I have read it somewhere.

I doubt you would find a specific book or article with this narrow of a focus. I am sure you could find references in general auditing books (mentioned above, also check ASQ.org), or magazines. You might want to see if you can search archives for Quality Magazine, Quality Digest, etc. at their websites There are also magazine and business databases you may be able to search. Many years ago I used Business Database Plus on Compuserve. It was fee based, but I would have much rather paid $2 for an article than spent all day trying to find the hard copy at the library. You might be able to use such databases free through university or public libraries.

I am a university student and I am in need of information regarding "Rotation of internal auditors".

Does anyone know of any articles or books which deal about this topic?

Thanks

You don't state whether looking for process or financial auditor rotation information. A very quick search on www.dogpile.com resulted in 74 top rated hits (from google, yahoo, msn, etc...)

If you are looking for financial auditor rotation info - this looks promising:

Hopefully Graziella was not frightened off. The Cove is not a last resort. I believe that "Quality Progress" by ASQ had an article on this a long time ago. If you are still around I will try to find it, but can not guarantee that i will.

This is kind of an interesting topic and can lead down a couple of paths.

Can there be value in rotation of auditors?

Can value be lost because of auditor rotation?

We discussed this the other day with a team that I am responsible for at one of my customers.
The pro's are as we see it the con's.
If one stays in the same process then despite the fact that you can identify and understand the process better, you lose your freshness.
A casual visitor sees the problems faster and easier.
We decided to rotate after 2 audits.
We felt that after the second audit we might be in a rut and become blind to the problems.
A new face can then see the opportunities for improvement easier.
