Clear Lines on Audit and Risk

The Clear Lines on Audit and Risk offer close-up analysis of basic concepts in audit and risk management. There are ‘how to’ guides and original solutions to common problems. Articles are sorted into streams for different audiences, and layered into overviews and drill-down detail.

This page lists top-level overview articles on Risk Management and on Audit and Governance. You can start drilling down from each of these overviews.

The Clear Lines have an origin in Australian Government work. The Clear Lines pay attention to the Australian perspective, and to the public-sector perspective. But the Clear Lines are definitely not about ‘how we do things here’. They are about achieving purpose.

Original solutions are validated against the professional standards covering the activity. The main standards bodies cited are ISO, IIA and ISACA, and the central authorities for the Australian Government.

Please comment freely. There are many original Lines that should be challenged. All the Clear Lines meet formal standards before you see them, but I would love to hear that some of them are not Clear enough, or should be followed only with caution. Articles in Beta versions are specifically intended for experts to critique. There is a reply box at the bottom of each post and page. You can also use the email contact facility.
