Acknowledgments

A big thanks to Stig Sunde, a senior audit professional who never tired of my endless questions. My bigger thanks go to my wife Jenni for her forbearance and support, as well as to my editors, Tula, Christina, and Vincent, for their trust and enthusiasm.

All my contributor-authors deserve applause for “volunteering” to contribute to this handbook, especially as they were all so pressed for time and came from all parts of the globe. We did not want to just throw together a loose collection of white papers but to strive toward a cogent enterprise-wide handbook with a story and solutions. I know that for some authors, their initial cynicism grew into trust and support, while for a few, the task turned into hard and disciplined work as I pushed back for revision after revision.

Some of those contributor-authors deserve my special mention for going “above and beyond” in assisting me as editor. These include Ron Hale in the United States, Didier Verstichel in Belgium, and Bassam Alwarith in Saudi Arabia. To all, I tip my hat.
