communication model and the significant challenges that the message medium plays in the delivery of information between two parties. In addition, the Beyond Audit Advisor Approach is detailed to provide a suggested technique to produce effective communications.

      Chapter 11 introduces the Audit Risk Barometer, which is an unfiltered, honest assessment of the internal audit department's operations as it relates to six individual categories. This self-assessment process takes the participants through a review of descriptive statements in each category, which are compiled for a total category score. The category scores are then totaled to calculate the internal audit's overall risk score. Three different risk scores alert the internal audit team as to their department's strengths and weaknesses.

      Chapter 12 provides the ideal profile of an exceptional, self-aware, self-validating, high-performance internal audit department by discussing the top 10 characteristics that support this definition of a world-class audit organization. Both hard and soft department characteristics are discussed to create a baseline for audit departments to maintain focus, provide ongoing team and methodology development, and improve service to their business partners.

      Chapter 13 discusses the critical and continuous role that training and development play in every internal audit department. While auditors should take responsibility for their own development, the audit department provides support and the proper learning environment to ensure audit development and success. Also included in this chapter is the Beyond Audit Learning Map, which details the suggested courses and topics for beginning auditors to provide a solid foundation to establish their audit skills.

      EVEN THOUGH THE DEVELOPMENT of this book occurred at such an odd time of isolation, I still had incredible support from so many people. I want to say thank you to all of those people, both professionally and personally, who experienced delays in response but waited patiently as I focused on creating this book.

      I owe the biggest thanks to my son and daughter, Robert and Gabrielle, who sacrificed the most during the writing of this book. Even though I could not give them the level of attention they deserved, they still diligently checked in on me to ensure I remembered that I had kids. Even with their busy professional careers, they found time to share with me during my book development and writing breaks, and I deeply appreciated that. You have both turned out to be incredibly successful, and I could not be prouder to tell everyone that you are my children. Stay focused on your goals and never give up.

      Thanks as always to my brothers, Jerry, Michael, and Stephen. All three of them provide support for me, whether it is for computer challenges, guidance, or office needs. No matter what, I can count on one of them chipping in to help me address the issue. I know my parents would be proud of how close we have stayed, and I could not be any luckier to have these guys in my life.

      As always, a special thank-you to Barumbi for the constant inspiration and support throughout this entire process. From the first book on continuous auditing to now, you have been a constant every single day, and I know I could never replace you. I look forward to continuing to develop new approaches and concepts with you and look forward to collaborating long into the future. I could never replace the perspective, motivation, and insight you share with me. Let us keep this thing rolling.

      In an unexpected acknowledgment, I must recognize three men that I literally owe for saving my life. How do you recognize and thank someone for keeping you alive and above ground? Words do not really seem like enough, but I will give it a try. To Dr. Martella, Dr. Sacchetti, and Dr. Tarditi, thank you a million times over for identifying, correcting, and providing me the absolute best care in fixing an unknown congenital defect that I was born with and no one, except for you, noticed and replaced just in time. You and your families will always be in my prayers and I am forever in your debt. Thank you so much for allowing me to spend more time with my children. All three of you are amazing and deserve the highest praise.

      Thanks to Jonathan Marks, who is a constant source of critical industry, business, and professional knowledge and always dedicates the necessary time to provide insight into any topic. His intellectual property delivers a focused vision for the most effective way to understand and analyze a process. He is not only an invaluable source of intelligence but also a great friend. We have collaborated on many learning events, presentations, and projects, and I look forward to continuing those efforts going forward.

      Thanks to my financial team, compiled of one amazing man, John Smith. Mr. Smith, aka Sma Sma Smitty, is not only my business associate but also a great friend. I appreciate the input, guidance, and support you have provided to keep me in the game for over 13 years and am looking forward to our next adventure.

      Thank you to my long-time friend, Dino Borghi, at Borghi's by the Bay in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, for always taking care of me, my family, and business associates with unbelievable meals and unmatched service. It is beyond fun cooking and working with you, as well as hanging out to do things we probably should not be doing. If I have to make a bad decision with anyone, you are it. Give me a Hunge. You are the best.

      As I acknowledged in my last book, there are so many business partners and audit team members that I have collaborated and worked with over the past three decades, and I truly appreciate all their hard work and contributions. Thank you all for the support and effort that you provided, whether it was to deliver a quality product to improve a business process or enhance the skills of a particular audit team. I look forward to partnering with you again in future endeavors.
