I wrote INTERNAL REGULATION at a time when accountants spent weeks getting two columns of figures to agree with each other. They did Financial NOT Operational Compliance. Rogue managers filled the vacuum with their own agendas. Bosses were seen off by consultants.
Management reform was expressed in PR Mission Statements. Glass
towers marked the Global settlements of our new Financial wizards.
It took us a while to realise a new generation of Moneylenders and
Planners had stolen our Internal Regulation clothes. We should have rumbled it when audits were carried out by the annual intake of interns.

I then wrote AUDIT DOCTOR, as a works manual, to help my clients  reform  Operational Compliance Audits as an Internal Regulation discipline. The key methodology lesson was that ALL Personnel be interviewed with their responses CORROBORATED by an Audit Committee member. Otherwise the Audit was part of the fiddle.

Now that the seeds of fiddling have concretised into bad-taste US mansions for  Irish plasterers and their bent bankers, the corroboration message still warrants more attention than  the ticking of boxes by virgin interns noting the confused answers of roused respondents.

I am consequently reinforcing  the AUDIT DOCTOR's bag and 
tightening its grip. It's a simple cops and robbers methodology.
You interview ALL personnel, including the family retainers AND
you  CORROBORATE their responses through the internal Audit
Committee. Qualification for membership of which requires that they collectively know the function of every employee on the payroll.
Don't be too snooty about Receptionists, Cleaners & Mistresses! 

                                                CHALLENGE
If you comprehend the following 10 lines of my Audit Doctor breakthrough and
are on-side with corroborated Operational Compliance Audits, then you have the
required tools to pan-fry the reproductive organs of the Chain of Influence
