The Closing of the Auditor’s Mind?: How to Reverse the Erosion of Trust, Virtue, and Wisdom in Modern Auditing: Security, Audit and Leadership Series
Autor David J. O'Reganen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 dec 2024
The adaptation challenge arises from ongoing, paradigmatic shifts in accountability and social trust. The command- and- control, vertical hierarchies of traditional bureaucracies are being replaced in importance by networked, flattened patterns of accountability. The most challenging assurance demands of the modern era are increasingly located in three institutional domains – in the inner workings of organizations; in intermediary spaces at organizational boundaries; and in extra-mural locations. Internal auditing continues to cling, barnacle- like, to the inner workings of traditional, bureaucratic structures, and it has little to offer the emerging assurance demands on or beyond institutional boundaries. The reform challenge arises from internal auditing’s prevailing tendency toward a rigid, algorithmic, checklist mindset that suppresses practitioners’ creativity and critical thinking. This trend is increasingly narrowing internal auditing’s intellectual and moral horizons. Under the pressures of these challenges, internal auditing is struggling to fulfil its primary purpose of serving the public interest.
O’Regan’s powerful book focuses on:
- The redistribution of social trust from traditional, hierarchical institutions to diffuse, horizontally distributed networks
- The perennial validity of the classical virtues as the humane foundation of professional activity
- The role of creative expertise in promoting professional wisdom

Recenzii
“The Closing of the Auditor’s Mind? How to Reverse the Erosion of Trust, Virtue, and Wisdom in Modern Auditing” (2024) by David J. O’Regan is a goldmine for all professional peers in the governance and audit arena caring about the betterment of internal auditing on a macro- and micro level, as a profession and as practitioners…It is a comprehensive read benefitting from the author’s rich intellectual capital…He does not only point to issues, but he also offers his perspective on how to bring the internal audit profession to a better place.
In July 2024, the global standard setter, The Institute of Internal Auditors Inc. in the US, has officially confirmed: “We must transform now or risk becoming irrelevant by 2035” (Anthony Pugliese, President and Chief Executive Officer). David’s book comes timely. He challenges the present narrative of internal auditing. David views internal auditing as creative and humanistic art. David suggests freeing up that creativity, individual judgement, and critical thinking. His critique suggests putting less weight on algorithms and checklists. He sees value in the cultivation of virtues, such as wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice. I particularly enjoyed reading chapter 6: “Toward a Renaissance of Internal Auditing?”…David’s book is a fascinating read.
