This is not the originally published version of the text. It is a reproduced version printed with permission of the original publisher. It is comb-bound and the pages are reproduced two pages to a single sheet. I suspect this edition was produced for a particular professor after the original was out-of-print.
The late Lawrence B. Sawyer, JD, CIA, PA, was widely known as one of the most articulate authorities on internal auditing. Indeed, he is often referred to as "the father of modern internal auditing." He gained his knowledge of audit practice in both government (with the U.S. General Accounting Office) and in the aerospace industry. He was the recipient of more major literary and professional awards than any other internal audit practitioner: four Thurston Awards, three Outstanding Contributor Awards, the Cadmus Award, and the Distinguished Service Award. He participated in early revisions of The IIA’s Code of Ethics and the Statement of Responsibilities, and was instrumental in developing the first Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination and the original Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. He continued to be a leader in the internal auditing profession. He published extensively in internal audit publications and wrote several other t! echnical books, one of which (the second edition of The Manager and the Internal Auditor) was published in 1996. Mr. Sawyer was constantly in demand as a speaker on the subject of internal auditing. He was the first recipient of The IIA’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
