This document discusses internal auditing. It defines internal auditing as an independent function that involves continuously evaluating an entity's risk management, governance, and internal controls. The objectives of internal auditing are to verify the accuracy of accounts, review internal check/control systems, ensure adherence to accounting standards, verify assets, and detect errors and frauds. The key differences between internal and external auditing are that internal auditing is continuous, conducted by employees, and has management as its primary user, while external auditing occurs annually and is conducted by a third party for stakeholders. An internal auditor provides independent and objective evaluations of a company's financial and operational activities to ensure efficiency and compliance.
