In an era of heightened scrutiny over corporate governance and accountability, the responsibilities of directors and executives have evolved significantly. High-profile corporate failures, including Enron and WorldCom in the United States, HIH Insurance in Australia, and Parmalat in Italy, have underscored the need for robust governance frameworks. Similar failures in other markets, including cases such as Steinhoff and VBS Bank in South Africa, illustrate that the risks of poor governance and weak oversight are universal.

If we have both internal and external auditors, we have combined assurance, right? Wrong!
For the board of directors to claim that they have discharged their obligations to implement a Combined Assurance Model requires much more than just the appointment of internal and external auditors.

Organisations can no longer operate only for the economically-driven rationale of generating a profit for their shareholders and investors. Organisations are an integral part of the societies and the environments in which they operate. As such, they affect -- and are affected by -- both internal and external stakeholders, and are consequently accountable to them.
