INTRODUCTION
As defined by the Institute of Internal Auditors, “Internal Auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.”
Changes in the regulatory and corporate governance environment have significantly increased the expectations that many stakeholders place on the internal audit function. ‘Essentials of Internal Audit’ guides internal auditors through the required standards for performing the internal audit.
