Internal Auditor

The Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors describes internal audit as providing independent assurance that an organisation\'s risk management, governance and internal control processes are operating effectively. Internal auditors are qualified professionals who provide unbiased and objective views that are independent from the operations they evaluate. IAs cover a broad range of issues, from risk assessment in its broadest sense, internal controls, corporate reputation and governance, to how employees are managed. The role involves a combination of assurance – telling managers how well organisational systems and processes are working – and consulting on system improvements.
