Limitations on Internal Auditor w/ Other Jobs

Answered by: 

Question: 
What are the limitations on an Internal Auditor as far as holding other positions? Can an Internal Auditor be a Loan Officer and on Loan Committee and a senior officer of the bank?
Answer: 

The auditor would have to maintain their independence when it came to areas in which they were involved in auditing. If they also were a Loan Officer and on the Loan Committee, it would pretty much disqualify them from performing any audits involving the lending function. If they were a senior officer with influence on major policy decisions, they would be pretty much disqualified from any internal audit function as they would no longer be independent.
