Abstract

This article advances a new form of leadership—audit leadership—for cultivating internal audit quality in medical clinics. The authors document the power of audit leadership, manifested by two facets—professional and relational behaviours—for developing a work environment in which people develop interpersonal trust and psychological safety, which is conducive for internal audit quality. The authors show how managers of medical clinics can shape a work environment in which internal audit is embraced and supported in ways that can help the units to perform at higher levels. Importantly, internal audit, often viewed as an unproductive organizational function, enables learning, process improvement and is a deterrence against potential transgressions. This article will be of particular interest to financial, accounting and management scholars, as well as professional auditors, managers, accountants and financial experts.
