Internal auditing (IA) is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity that adds value to organizations by helping them achieve their objectives. Through a systemic and disciplined approach, IAs evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, internal controls, and governance processes. They focus on the reliability and integrity of information, compliance, safeguarding assets, and enhancing efficiencies across all organizational areas. The role of IAs differs from external auditors, emphasizing their unique contributions to corporate governance and organizational success.
