This took quite a bit of brainpower to get through, but it is an interesting read if you work in Internal Audit. Referencing Sisyphus in the title might paint a bleak picture (as you may recall, he’s the fellow in Greek mythology who was sentenced to an eternity of rolling a stone up a hill only to have it roll back down before it reached the top), but I thought the conclusion and acknowledgment of the constant task of “deparadoxifying” Internal Audit was relatable. The author concludes: 1- Internal Auditors “are to be both independent and fierce warriors, and consoling and warm” 2-Internal Auditors are “both part of the organization, and separate from the organization.” 3-Internal Audit’s “performance was mainly presented through their audit report which was to be critical and insightful, but not too critical.” “In other words, the work of the internal auditors is a constant balancing act.” — Ingrid Gustafsson Nordin #internalaudit
