             The role of an internal auditor is to carry out an independent appraisal of how a company works, their processes and the risk that may affect the business. Typically those carrying out the internal audit work across all business functions to gain a complete and comprehensive overview of the company.
The basic functions in an internal audit job can be broken down in the following ways:
Dealing with Risk
Reporting on the Operations of the Company
Uncovering Fraud and Malpractice
Identifying and Preventing the Worst Case Scenario
Creating and Ensuring Appropriate Controls are in Place
Making Recommendations for the Future
