Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It brings a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and enhance the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

Their goal is to ensure that internal controls are adequate to mitigate risks and that governance processes are effective and efficient. In summary, internal audit plays a crucial role in helping organizations achieve their objectives by ensuring effective risk management, strong controls, and sound governance processes.
