| WHEREAS, Internal auditing is a vital part of | ||
| strengthening organizations and protecting stakeholders of both | ||
| the public and private sectors; internal auditors provide | ||
| independent, objective assurance and consulting, which improves | ||
| an organization's operations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Internal auditing helps identify and manage an | ||
| organization's risks and ensures that policies, procedures, and | ||
| controls are in place and working appropriately; state auditors | ||
| bring a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluating and | ||
| improving the effectiveness of risk management, control, and | ||
| governing processes; and | ||
| WHEREAS, An increasingly sophisticated and complex | ||
| activity, internal auditing requires specialized knowledge, | ||
| training, and education; the process ensures that organizations | ||
| are accountable to their stakeholders, whether those | ||
| stakeholders are investors or the general public; by using a | ||
| risk-based approach to review and monitor an organization's | ||
| processes and activities, internal auditors protect assets and | ||
| information and identify and prevent fraud, security breaches, | ||
| noncompliance, and inefficiencies; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Internal auditing is an established profession | ||
| that is led by the Institute of Internal Auditors; the institute | ||
| has a globally recognized code of ethics and sets international | ||
| standards for the professional practice of internal auditing; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Internal auditors play an invaluable role in the | ||
| success of state agencies, organizations, and the global economy | ||
| at large, and they deserve our recognition and commendation; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize the month of May as International | ||
| Internal Audit Awareness Month and commend all associated with | ||
| the internal auditing profession for their immeasurable | ||
| contributions to this state and nation. | ||
