The Challenges Facing Government Auditors
Posted on July 26, 2013
When it comes to the pressure of successfully identifying, anticipating and dealing with risks, few auditors shoulder as much burden as those who work with the government. As the Institute of Internal Auditors’ Richard Chambers wrote, these professionals deal with career-threatening political risks on a daily basis that many private sector auditors could never comprehend.
Internal auditors play a pivotal role in the relationship between the government and citizens. It’s up to auditors to set the appropriate controls to manage federal programs and also to provide insight into the effectiveness and the soundness of the government’s inner workings. Put simply, auditors are key to ensuring the public’s trust in their government is well-founded and not abused.
That being said, there are a number of challenges associated with governmental-level internal auditing. Citing a MicKinsey paper from 2011, Chambers points to a few key issues:
1. Turnover and Outsiders: Turnover in the political sector is high, with appointed executives seldom lasting for more than two years. On top of that, newly appointed officials often come from outside departments or agencies. This means officials frequently don’t have a firm grasp on all the risks and challenges associated with their position, which can lead to poor decision making.
2. Metrics for Success: In the private sector, business objectives are clear and are conducive to metrics: more sales, more customers, more revenue, return on investment, etc. This means it’s extremely easy to determine the efficiency of audit programs and controls. In the public sphere, metrics aren’t as obvious because financial and mission objectives are more complex. This complicates the job immensely.
3. ‘Mission Over Risk’ Mindset: Most companies undervalue the importance of risk culture. Departments want to achieve their objectives, and risk management takes a back seat to that. In the public sector, officials are often even more dedicated to and passionate about the mission at hand. Additionally, people tend to assume that government budgets are big enough to bail departments out of bad decisions, which can lead to risky behaviors. […]
Internal controls are pivotal to maintaining the public trust in government operations, so despite the challenges that lay in front of auditors, it’s crucial they work with managers to develop effective campaigns and programs.

(   ) Os auditores do setor privado têm mais responsabilidade do que os auditores do governo nas decisões de tomada de risco.   Falso. Os auditores do governo têm mais responsabilidade, conforme primeiras linhas do texto. When it comes to the pressure of successfully identifying, anticipating and dealing with risks, few auditors shoulder as much burden as those who work with the government. Quando se trata da pressão para identificar, antecipar e lidar com riscos com sucesso, poucos auditores arcam com tanta responsabilidade quanto aqueles que trabalham com o governo.
(   ) O peso que os auditores do governo têm sobre si próprios é bastante grande. Correto. Eles lidam com riscos políticos que ameaçam suas carreiras. [...] these professionals deal with career-threatening political risks on a daily basis that many private sector auditors could never comprehend.[...] esses profissionais lidam diariamente com riscos políticos que ameaçam a carreira e que muitos auditores do setor privado nunca compreenderiam.
(    ) Parte do trabalho do auditor é a mediação entre o público e o governo. Correto. Internal auditors play a pivotal role in the relationship between the government and citizens. Os auditores internos desempenham um papel fundamental na relação entre o governo e os cidadãos.

"...auditors are key to ensuring the public’s trust in their government is well-founded and not abused". This is not mediation. Definition of mediation: "intervention in a dispute in order to resolve it; arbitration". Auditors don't do that. Wrong answer.
