An appraisal of the internal audit organization of the Navy
Abstract
Internal auditing was implemented by the United States Navy in
1951 as a means of management control over financial operations. During
the fifties, industrial auditors began to review and appraise functional areas
other than financial in order to provide a better service to management. The
purpose of this study is to compare the roles internal auditors play in
industry and in the Navy today. Additionally, the effectiveness of the Navy
audit organization as a means of executive control is determined. The study
reveals that Navy Audit is >ust as advanced in its operations as industry and
that it is an effective means of control. The major problem facing Navy
Audit's management in future years is the recruitment and development of
personnel so that the demands of top Navy management will be fulfilled.
