Internal Audit
What is Internal Audit?
The Institute of Internal Auditors define internal auditing as:
“An independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organisation’s operations. It helps an organisation accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes”.
Internal audit includes the following:
Examination and evaluation of financial and operating information – an on–going procedure, not a once a year function, looking at processes and systems, not just accounts
- Risk assessments
- Review of the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of operations, including non-financial controls
- Review of compliance with external laws and regulations
- Review of internal policies
- Review of authorisation of transactions
- Special investigations, including fraud
The Internal Auditor should demonstrate independence, but report to the management of the organisation – Internal Audit should be regarded as a management tool. A rolling programme can be used to examine all areas of activity over a number of years.
The duties of an Internal Auditor can be split into three separate categories:
Organisational Control:
- Financial: Checking on the methods used for the preparing and publishing of reliable financial statements.
- Operational: The effectiveness and efficiency of the operations. The safeguarding of resources against loss.
- Compliance: Adherence to laws and regulations.
Governance:
The process conducted by the Board to authorise, direct and oversee management towards the achievement of the Board’s objectives.
Risk Management:
The process conducted by management in order to understand and deal with uncertainties.
