Sounds like internal audit

Yes, I (and Stross) am taking auditors, internal and external, as a model. Why do you comment specifically on internal auditors?

Ordinary audit is audit of the accounts; it is focused on money. Internal audit has a wider remit. Expanding the remit of audit is a natural idea. I thought it was interesting and unexpected that it was already being done. I would never have come across the Institute of Internal Audit if it hadn't been for my brother getting a job with them.
