Internal audit

This final thesis is focusing on internal audit. The objective of the thesis is to show the process of internal audit in practice and to assess whether the internal audit is effective and serves its purpose. I am describing the process of internal audit on a company providing services. Particular steps of this internal audit are being described in this thesis while the final report of the internal auditor is included. The report describes failures which occurred and the procedure of their resolution. I came to the conclusion that internal audit helps the organization to reduce the failures and mistakes risen up by ignorance, lack of attention or lack of knowledge. Following the results of the thesis I would recommend the companies not doing any internal audit to do so. Performing of the internal audit on the regular basis will allow achieving higher control over the activities and processes. Internal audit helps to gain and renew the quality certifications which are helping to become more competitive at the market
