Talk To A CA/CS/CMA/ADVOCATE
An effective internal audit is concerned with evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes in an organization. Organizations are increasingly leveraging internal audit as a strategic resource, recognizing that internal auditors’ broad and deep perspective of operations, risks and potential opportunities can help inform business decision-making. All organisations are subject to fraud risks and there have been several instances when frauds have disgraced organisations as a whole.
With increased regulatory focus and widespread negative impact of frauds, the managements and senior executives are increasingly concerned about the vulnerability and exposure of their businesses/ organisations to frauds and whether or not they are adequately protected. This emphasizes the need of internal audit in fraud risk management.
