Internal auditors are employed by public and private companies, nonprofit organizations and government agencies at all levels. They operate as independent agents within an organization. They are tasked with providing objective evaluations of internal controls, risk management efforts and governance processes. Many internal auditors look into virtually every corner of an organization, evaluating operational efficiency, the reliability of financial reporting, information security controls and compliance with legal and regulatory standards. Detecting, investigating and deterring all types of fraud within an organization is another key function of the internal auditor. Most internal auditors have the authority to access and assess all areas of an organization.
