Internal Audit

Internal audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It involves a systematic review of an organization’s risk management, control, and governance processes.
The internal audit function plays a crucial role in maintaining transparency and accountability within the organization. Reports and findings from internal audits are directly communicated to the Board of Directors. This reporting structure ensures that the Board is informed about significant issues related to risk management, internal controls, and compliance.
