About Norman

WHO AM I?

I have been a practitioner and thought leader in internal audit, risk management, and governance for a long time. I have led large and small internal audit departments, been the Chief Risk Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, and managed IT Security and governance functions.

I have a second blog at www.theiia.org/blogs/marks and I try to post on both once a week.

I retired in early 2013. However, I still blog, write, train, and speak – and mentor individuals and organizations when I can. You can reach me at nmarks2@yahoo.com.

My latest adventure is a collaboration with Richard Anderson, former chairman of the Institute of Risk Management. Risk ReImagined includes webinars and one-day in-person events around the world where we can have a conversation about the effective management of risk.

My books are discussed in a separate tab.

I continue to lead workshops designed for experienced practitioners on the topics of Sarbanes-Oxley, effective risk management, and building a world-class internal audit function.

I am also working with individiuals and companies, including software vendors, where my knowledge and experience is seen of value.

I am fortunate to have been recognized and made a Fellow by OCEG for my commentary on GRC, and an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Risk Management for my contribution to the risk management field. I am also pleased to contribute to the profession through my activities in support of the IIA and ISACA, articles in various publications, and membership of periodical review boards (including the Internal Auditor, ISACA Journal, and EDPACS).

OTHER

I am passionate about internal audit, risk management, governance, and the topic of GRC. If you are interested in conversation and discussion, please feel free to contact me.

I am also somewhat of a mentor, giving back to the profession, so if you have a tough situation and want to talk – contact me.

Finally, I am open to opportunities such as serving on a board, if there is a need for an experienced practitioner and thought leader around internal audit, risk management, etc.
