Internal auditing refers to an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve a company’s operations. It helps the company accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.

Internal auditing is a profession designed to improve an organization’s operations. Performed by certified internal auditors with in-depth knowledge of the business milieu, systems, and process, it helps an organization to meet its predetermined objectives and goals in a systematic approach to study and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance process.

Internal auditing ensures that the organization is working fairly enough to mitigate risks, and that business goals and objectives are met. To do this, internal auditors work with an organization to systematically review its systems and business operations. These reviews are focused on recognizing how well risks are managed and whether agreed procedures are being followed.
