What Does Internal Audit Do?
Internal Audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting function established within the Council that primarily provides an independent and objective opinion to the organisation on the control environment comprising risk management, internal control and governance, by evaluating its effectiveness in achieving the organisation's objectives. It objectively examines, evaluates and reports on the adequacy of the control environment as a contribution to the proper, economic, efficient and effective use of resources. Internal Audit will advise management where internal control systems can be improved, and seek to promote compliance with corporate policies and procedures, and accomplishment of corporate priorities, through its systematic review of the Council's activities.
