Internal Auditor

Internal Auditor

Internal Auditor

(OP)
Does anyone know who or what position in a company can be considered (safe) having an alternate Internal Auditor title?
Would a draftsman carry an alternate title like this?

RE: Internal Auditor


I'd like to help, but this question really makes no sense to me.

Internal Auditor of what? ISO? Quality? Cleanliness?

Also, what does (safe) mean?  

RE: Internal Auditor

No position in any company can truly be considered "safe".  Like rhodie, I am not sure how the Internal Auditor comes into play.

RE: Internal Auditor

If "alternate title" means you have two bosses, you are screwed.

RE: Internal Auditor

Not necessarily. But at least one of the three people involved is inevitably screwed.

RE: Internal Auditor

Internal audits are bogus in my opinion.  The poor slob doing the auditing is almost always going to get "instruction" and "advice" from a higher-up on what areas to overlook or avoid.  Internal audits are nothing more than an exercise in fell-good back-patting of ones own company.  Cynical? maybe, but the drive for profit is what runs most companies, not the overwhelming compulsion to what's right.

RE: Internal Auditor

Can someone please explain what (in this case) an "Internal Auditor" is supposed to be auditing? Safety procedures, Drafting practices, Book keeping, ...???

RE: Internal Auditor

I have experience with one that came up with comments related to sheet numbering, "proper" method of indicating delta numbers, date format, etc.  No comments were made regarding content what-so-ever.

Internal audit "can" be a good thing if the one auditing is experienced enough to catch mistakes that matter.
