| Abstract: | Internal auditing has been an important part of the internal management control system of many firms. Nonetheless, growing numbers of firms have, in recent years, outsourced some or all of the internal audit function to third-party providers such as large public accounting firms. Articles in the professional literature suggest that these firms are focusing resources on core competencies and seeking to minimize noncore support costs. |
