Internal Audit IN India
Internal Audit
An Internal Audit is an independent, objective evaluation of an organization’s internal controls, risk management, and governance processes. Unlike a statutory audit (which is mandatory under law), an internal audit is initiated by the management of the company to ensure operational efficiency, compliance, and fraud prevention.
It helps businesses identify weaknesses, improve systems, and ensure sustainable growth
