Introduction

Internal Audit is a crucial function that provides independent assurance on the effectiveness of an organization's internal controls and risk management processes. It plays a significant role in enhancing governance and helping businesses achieve their strategic objectives.
 

As an independent and systematic function, Internal Audit helps organizations:

✔ Evaluate risks and controls to improve efficiency.

✔ Detect and minimize fraud & errors proactively.

✔ Strengthen operational effectiveness through timely corrective actions.
 

Even if Internal Audit is not mandatorily applicable to your organization, conducting it periodically is highly advisable to ensure financial transparency, compliance, and risk mitigation.
 

Scope and Objectives of Internal Audit

The scope and objectives of an Internal Audit vary depending on the size, structure, and management requirements of an entity. However, it generally focuses on the following key areas:
 

🔹 Review of the Accounting System & Internal Controls – Ensuring financial records are accurate, reliable, and secure.

🔹 Evaluation of Financial & Operational Information – Assessing the efficiency of processes and controls.

🔹 Effectiveness of Operations – Examining financial management and operational efficiency.
