H.R. No. 1514 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The observance of International Internal Audit | ||
Awareness Month in May 2019 provides an opportunity to recognize | ||
the many ways in which internal auditors help businesses, | ||
organizations, and government agencies accomplish their goals and | ||
fulfill their missions; and | ||
WHEREAS, Committed to objectivity and independence, internal | ||
auditors establish and enforce high standards for efficiency, | ||
effectiveness, and ethics; they use a systematic, disciplined | ||
approach to ensure that policies, procedures, and controls are in | ||
place and working appropriately; and | ||
WHEREAS, Employing a risk-based approach, internal auditors | ||
review and monitor an organization's processes and activities in | ||
order to protect assets and information; they detect and prevent | ||
fraud, security breaches, noncompliance, and inefficiencies that | ||
could imperil operations; and | ||
WHEREAS, Internal auditing is becoming an increasingly | ||
sophisticated field, requiring specialized knowledge, training, | ||
and education, and the Institute of Internal Auditors maintains a | ||
globally recognized code of ethics and standards to guide | ||
professionals; and | ||
WHEREAS, The work of internal auditors strengthens | ||
organizations and ensures that they are accountable to their | ||
stakeholders, whether those stakeholders are investors or the | ||
general public, and it is indeed fitting to recognize the crucial | ||
role they play; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize May 2019 as International Internal | ||
Audit Awareness Month. | ||
