siseaudititegevuse

Siseaudititegevus refers to the independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Internal audit activities are performed by internal auditors, who are employees of the organization or a third party providing internal audit services.

The primary purpose of siseaudititegevus is to provide an assurance to management and the board of directors that the organization's internal controls are effective, risks are adequately managed, and that operations are conducted in accordance with established policies, procedures, and regulations. This assurance is typically provided through a series of audits that examine various aspects of the organization's business processes, financial reporting, compliance, and operational efficiency.

Key activities within siseaudititegevus include planning audit engagements, performing fieldwork to gather evidence, analyzing findings, and communicating audit results and recommendations. Recommendations are aimed at strengthening internal controls, improving efficiency, and mitigating risks. The internal audit function plays a crucial role in corporate governance, acting as a check and balance within the organization. It operates independently of the departments it audits, reporting directly to senior management or the audit committee of the board. This independence is vital for maintaining objectivity and credibility.
