Internal audit, often perceived as the custodian of integrity and efficiency, plays a pivotal role in ensuring the health and sustainability of an organization. It is not just a check-and-balance mechanism; it is the guardian of our principles, the advocate for continuous improvement, and the catalyst for positive change.

The value of internal audit extends far beyond giving assurance on effectiveness of governance, risk management and internal controls. It is about safeguarding an organization’s principles, optimizing its efficiency, driving positive change, and forging strategic partnerships. Identification of the key and relevant stakeholders assist organizations to leverage on such partnership leading to achievement of objectives effectively and sustainably.

It is therefore important to recognize the profound impact internal audit has on an organization’s collective success and to embrace the opportunities it presents for continuous improvement.
