Re: Internal Auditor - What is required to have someone qualified as an internal audi
The Principles of Auditing and the Attributes of Auditors are two seperate things as specifically stated in ISO 19011:2002.
Auditors should possess personal attributes to enable them to act in accordance with the principles of auditing described in clause 4.
An auditor should be: (should, but not really necessary?)
a) ethical, i.e. fair, truthful, sincere, honest and discreet; (one of them paid me back a buck I loaned)
b) open-minded, i.e. willing to consider alternative ideas or points of view; (some of them are Republicans)
c) diplomatic, i.e. tactful in dealing with people; (we can't have guns at work)
d) observant, i.e. actively aware of physical surroundings and activities; (one guy got lost for 2 days)
e) perceptive, i.e. instinctively aware of and able to understand situations; (huh?)
f) versatile, i.e. adjusts readily to different situations; (all of them drive cars from the 80's)
g) tenacious, i.e. persistent, focused on achieving objectives; (they always show up on payday)
h) decisive, i.e. reaches timely conclusions based on logical reasoning and analysis; and (maybe tomorrow)
i) self-reliant, i.e. acts and functions independently while interacting effectively with others. (mommy, help me)
