This depends on the size and structure of the entity and the responsibility assigned to it by management. Ordinarily these would include:
• Review of accounting internal control systems. The management is responsible for
establishing internal control system. The system requires proper attention and continuous
review, a function usually assigned to internal audit. Internal Audit function designs a plan on
areas and control procedures that will be reviewed during the financial year.
• Carrying out examination of financial and operational information. This may include detailed
testing of transactions and operation procedures.
• Review of the economic efficiency and effectiveness of operations including non financial
controls of the entity.
• Review of company’s compliance with external laws and regulation. The internal audit
functions checks whether procedure are in place to ensure that all relevant laws and
regulations are adhered to.
• Review of entity’s compliance with management policies and other internal requirements.
• Carrying out independent investigations into company affairs as required by management
e.g. investigation areas of suspected fraud or misuse of company’s resources.
