Background:

The Internal Audit function broadly assesses and contributes to the overall improvement of the organization’s governance, risk management, and control processes, using a systematic and disciplined approach. An integral component of sound corporate governance, considered as the critical third line of defence, this function helps decision makers protect organizational assets and reputation, as well as support operational sustainability. It thus becomes an essential and effective risk management tool, providing the Board and senior management with critical information to accurately attest to the adequacy of internal controls. It provides assurance on the governance processes and compliance adequacies of established policies & procedures, besides strengthening the institutional framework to meet future challenges.
