World-Class Internal Audit
Recognized as one of the premier thought leaders in internal auditing, Norman Marks served as the chief audit executive at global companies for more than twenty years. He now spends his time speaking and presenting at conferences around the world on internal audit, risk management, governance, and better-run business.
This book is about the professional experiences that shaped Norman and led him to be acknowledged by audit committees, company executives, and his peers as the leader of world-class internal audit teams.
Read what led people to say about Norman and his
•“Internal audit provides us with a competitive advantage”
•“You have yet to perform an audit I wouldn't gladly pay for”
•“You help the audit committee sleep through the night”
•“You are not a typical internal auditor”
A current chief audit executive who worked with Norman at two different companies had this to
“Norman had a unique leadership philosophy where he adapted to the demands of the situation, the abilities of the staff and the needs of the organization. He was able to move between leadership styles utilizing the one needed for the challenges that the company was facing. He was at times visionary along with a coaching emphasis while not micromanaging. Norman set high standards, was democratic but occasionally would utilize a classic authoritarian style when needed with certain employees and situations. Norman moved easily between leadership styles which resulted in developing World Class departments. As the Chief Audit Executive for a semiconductor company I still consult Norman on various audit topics and practice leadership techniques I learned under his tutelage.”

I got this book for free on Kindle in May 2024, thanks to Mr. Norman Marks, who made it available for a limited time. I am truly grateful to him for his generosity!
The book offers practical advice on how internal auditors can add real value by aligning their audits with business objectives and adopting a risk-based approach.
The writing is clear, and Mr. Marks supports his points with real-world examples, showing how internal audit can genuinely partner with senior management and the Board. It’s not just about compliance but about driving improvement and enhancing governance in an organization.
It was a pleasure to read about Mr. Marks' unique and memorable work experiences with his world-class internal audit teams. It must have been incredible to be part of one of his teams and learn directly from him.
Thanks again to Mr. Marks for the free book and the valuable insights I gained from reading it! I will carry these lessons with me for the rest of my career.
