Expert Author: Jenny Sin An effective audit function should provide all levels of management an independent appraisal of their operations andassist them in achieving maximum efficiency while achieving overall organizational goals (Institute of Internal Auditors, "Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing").
