Uncovering opportunities to improve as an internal audit group is almost a nirvana,

because people understand that internal auditors look in the rear-view vision mirror,

back with hindsight. But if you can project yourself forward to what will happen and look

at the revenue opportunities, then you will be in that pocket of the managing director.”
