Today’s stakeholders expect more from internal audit functions—they must deliver not only compliance assurance but also strategic insights. A well-executed internal audit supports governance, mitigates risk, and enhances operational performance.
The Expanding Role of Internal Audit
An effective internal audit assesses:
- Operational efficiency
- Compliance with internal policies and external regulations
- Financial accuracy and fraud prevention
It also provides early warnings on emerging risks and serves as a foundation for continuous improvement.
Embedding Audit into Strategy
Internal audits should not be viewed as a cost center. When aligned with corporate strategy, audits:
- Enhance transparency and accountability
- Identify opportunities for cost optimization
- Strengthen decision-making with evidence-based findings
