It’s a situation that Julius Mojapelo, the new chief executive of the Institute of Internal Auditors SA, is well aware of. The profession of internal auditing deserves more if it is to do more in the fight against corruption and maladministration, he says. Government departments can no longer afford to live in the dark ages in terms of financial management systems and the profession needs to move away from simply conducting autopsies on failed systems. It is time to make systems work for internal auditors and to standardise the qualifiers for those who practice the trade.
Along with a professional overhaul, it is important to create an environment where its power can bloom. In 2016 the global auditors’ institute noted that, despite the occasional criticism of an internal audit, the profession continued to ride a wave of enhanced stature and growth. “In order to harness the full power of internal auditing, we need to create the right environment,” says Mojapelo. “Our members live in fear of intimidation and most of the time it is because we are always fighting a single problem and not a system. Internal auditors have to move from finding specific issues in a system … when the issue is a failed system.
Institute of Internal Auditors SA chair James Gourrah said he and the board were impressed by Mojapelo’s energy and intrinsic understanding of the internal audit sector, as well as his knowledge of member-led organisations such as this.
