Internal audit
Internal audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations.
It helps organizations achieve their objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Internal auditors examine and assess various aspects of an organization, including financial reporting, compliance with laws and regulations, and operational efficiency.
Risk Management
Internal auditors focus on identifying and assessing risks that could impact the achievement of organizational objectives. They help management understand and manage these risks effectively.
Controls and Processes
They evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls and operational processes. This includes assessing whether these controls are designed appropriately and are operating as intended.
Compliance
Internal auditors ensure that the organization complies with relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies. This helps in preventing legal issues and ensuring ethical business practices.
