Newsflash

Wow! Guess what I found?

I stumbled across a great site that can help you save time on your audit or risk management projects. Now, you may have already heard of this site but for those who are not aware…you may want to check it out. It is stock-piled with useful tools such as work programs, guides, checklists, questionnaires, etc. This may be the site for you if you do not want to reinvent the wheel. This is a subscription based site but you can currently sign up for a 30 day free trial to poke around. As the site states, it will help internal auditors and risk management professionals save time, manage risk, and add value. Check it out @ http://www.knowledgeleader.com.  So far, I have found some great information and hope that you are able to use it to your advantage.
