✦ Synopsis

Based on a survey carried out at the behest of the European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditors (ECIIA), this article rather ambitiously attempts to sketch out the relationship between the Internal Audit Function (IAF) and Corporate Governance (CG) issues among the top listed companies in the European Union (EU). ‘Attempts’ is used advisedly, because the authors are far from convinced that the results they obtained – in terms of numbers and percentages of responses – have provided them with a solid basis for the textured and nuanced overview they were aiming at. Having said that, it is, nevertheless, clear that there are surprising, and even startling, differences in the way Internal Auditors operate in the EU, even in the largest companies, and their awareness of, and opinions about, their role in CG concerns. Put succinctly, there is plenty of room for evolution in both mind set and daily practice.

The tangent distribution function (TDF) is analyzed within the theory of linear viscoelasticity on mechanical properties. A proof is given that both the relaxation and retardation spectra can be derived from the TDF, through a Fredholm integral equation. Furthermore, the relaxation strength can be c
