Computer audit - the youngest profession?
John Mitchell · ITNOW · 1992
Abstract One of the most common views of an auditor, at least by the rest of the data processing profession, is that he/she is the person who goes in after the battle to bayonet the wounded. To some extent this reputation has been deserved, but today a new breed of auditor is replacing the ones with the bayonets. This new breed is not averse to getting involved in the battle itself and actually realises that it is on the same side as the rest of the organisation.
