I sat in a corner,
quiet and meek
Ready to give assistance,
that no one would seek
A one-person department,
I was the “Internal Auditor”
Asked to review vouchers
To find petty faults, like a class monitor.
An invitee to the Audit Committee,
Because the law said so,
I was given FULL 5 minutes
To summarize the entire year on the go.
My CEO said “We are in trouble,”
Sales are dipping, competition severe”
“I look at the vouchers, nothing more I do,
I am just an Internal Auditor, what can I do?”
Then came a mentor who took me aside,
Wise words she spoke that made me realize,
“YOU are the Internal Auditor, with your canvass so wide,
Be fearless and fair, you will have insights to emphasize.”
I left my lonely corner
And started looking around
Across functions and activities,
And Oh! There was so much to be found.
I met with many folks
In cabins and on shopfloors
No longer to find their faults
But to ease their woes
Analyzed the sales, studied the competition,
Read research reports and understood the global trends
Armed with my insights, with the CEO I met,
“If you don’t change your ways, your business is dead!”
Angered by my words, yet worried to the core,
I got an audience with the CEO and many more,
“Technology is changing our world in ways unseen,
Today’s thieves don’t break the locks, they enter through your screen”
“Opportunities are many and so are the threats,
May I take you through some gaps that must surely make you fret?”
And allow me to show you the ways to succeed
With risks and controls and culture and ethics
Invited to the Board Room, no longer as a pest
I laid bare my reviews, with utmost grit and zest
My presentations enchanting, few words to read,
They spoke with urgency through pictures, charts and reels
As I unfold this session
Here’s what remember must you,
If you want the world to change,
The change must start with YOU!
