In these presentations, we often use the term "internal Auditor" meaning someone who works closely with IT, Legal, and Finance and conducts independent and objective evaluations of the company's operations, including its internal controls, risk management processes, and governance.
In this context, their role is to ensure that the organization's systems and processes function effectively and efficiently, thereby adding value and improving operations. Key responsibilities include:
* Evaluating Internal Controls: To assess the effectiveness of internal controls to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and safeguard assets.
* Conducting Risk Assessments: They Identify and analyze risks that could impact the organization's ability to achieve its objectives.
* Reporting Findings: They prepare reports detailing their findings and recommendations for improvements, which are communicated to management.
