IFAC Senior Technical Manager Vincent Tophoff was invited to give a presentation on risk management and internal control in the public sector to the US Interagency Council on Enterprise Risk Management at the White House Conference Center in Washington, DC. The audience was comprised of risk management and internal control managers throughout the various US federal departments and agencies, including the US Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget.

IFAC raises questions about the claims made in the article, "The Virtues of Mandatory Audit Rotation," and focuses the debate on evidence-based measures to further enhance audit quality--and ultimately the quality of financial reporting--as well as regulatory consistency across jurisdictions.
