Companies sometimes bear the misconceptions that getting audited is something they should try to avoid until and unless it’s a governmental or statutory obligation.

When it comes to an internal audit, it is often neglected by companies for want of legal obligation or lack of time and resources.

What is internal audit

Internal auditing is aimed at evaluating the company’s internal control framework, corporate governance mechanism, compliance with laws, accounting processes to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting, operational efficiencies, and safeguarding of assets. Internal audit aids the organization in accomplishing all its strategic missions and objectives by introducing a systematic and disciplined approach and methodology to improve risk management, governance policies and brings compliance to rules and regulations. It provides necessary confidence to the management that the company can meet the demands of the ever-changing external environment.

Rapidly changing compliance requirements, globalization, new business models, unique financial transactions, and lack of quality resources create a lot of stress on internal audit professionals of the companies. Increased competition from online and offline businesses has changed business formats and changed the way of doing business along with the internal procedures related to procurements, sales, finance, and inventory.
