TY - JOUR TI - Propuesta de salvaguardas para la independencia de la función de auditoría interna JO - ESTUDIOS GERENCIALES;Vol. 30 No. 131 PB - Universidad Icesi PY - 2014 issn 01235923 AB - The present document has as its aim to propose a set of safeguards that may be used as a reference for internal and regulatory auditors and entities, in order to ensure the independence in this function. To obtain this aim, the applied research Delphi method was used. The results obtained demonstrated that there was no difference of opinion between experts on the importance of the safeguards. Thus, a uniform set of safeguards can be proposed, with the exception of the outsourcing of the function of internal audit, it being considered to be less important for the group of internal auditors. The independence of auditing activities and the internal control systems was unanimously considered to be the most important safeguard KW - Facultad de Ciencias Administrativas y Económicas KW - Producción intelectual registrada - Universidad Icesi KW - Estudios Gerenciales KW - Auditoría interna KW - Método Delphi KW - Sistemas de control KW - Internal audit KW - Delphi method UR - http://www.icesi.edu.co/revistas/index.php/estudios_gerenciales/article/view/1790 ER -
