Abstract:
This paper tackles an important issue related to internal public audit, namely specific consulting. Thus, we conceptually approach the three types of consulting engagements, focussing on a comparison between the assurance and the consulting engagements. Then, after an analysis of good practices in planning and unfolding consulting engagements, there is a conclusion section and we close the article with proposals for the enhancement of consulting afforded by internal public audit.
