Strategic-Systems Auditing Cases and Monograph
A case development and research program established to foster implementation and evolution of concepts in strategic-systems auditing (SSA). The rationale and conceptual framework for SSA are presented in the monograph entitled Auditing Organizations Through a Strategic-Systems Lens (Bell et al., 1997). This monograph suggests that knowledge of the client's business strategy, business risks and controls, and business process performance is the cornerstone of an effective external audit in today's hyper-dynamic global economy.
