Your INTERNAL AUDIT

OVERVIEW

Internal audit is an independent and objective assurance and consulting activity within an organization. It is conducted by an internal audit function or department to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. The primary purpose of internal audit is to provide assurance to management and the board of directors that risks are identified and appropriately managed, internal controls are effective, and operations are conducted in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies.

An internal audit is performed by an internal audit department or an independent internal audit firm within an organization. It evaluates the internal controls, risk management processes, and operational efficiency of the organization. The goal is to identify areas for improvement and ensure compliance with policies and procedures.
