Chapter 5

Internal auditors must engage with management and assist them in defining
Goals when objectives are missing or unclear. When goals aren't established, a variety
of challenges can arise, ranging from confusion and lack of coordination to a loss of
sense of purpose and sheer waste as staff work aimlessly. Internal auditors should
engage management to develop improvements if the goals have been defined but are
insufficient. That’s why being Specific on the goals that you want to achieve is very
much important have. Goals become clearer, and avoid the confusion which can
suffocate goal-setting.

Achievable, having such specific goals and attain it on time would not be an
assurance that it would be successful if its not achievable. When workers believe that
goals are unrealistic and unattainable, they feel powerless because they cannot achieve
them. When goals are connected with the organization's and individual's missions, they
can be considered achievable. Furthermore, by making projects aspirational and
ambitious, they instill confidence in individuals engaged and push them to achieve
greatness.
