“The Financial Regulator views internal audit as being an integral part of the ongoing monitoring of an undertaking’s system of internal controls and of its internal capital assessment procedure, because internal audit provides an independent assessment of the adequacy of, and compliance with, the undertaking’s established policies and procedures. The role of the internal audit function is to assist senior management and the Board of Directors in the efficient and effective discharge of their responsibilities.” Financial Regulator, Corporate Governance, December 2007 |
