Audit Committees and management are seeking more value from Internal Audit, to improve business operations in addition to routine compliance and control attestation.

In summary:
- Internal Audit provides both assurance and consulting (advisory) services; and
- the scope of internal audit work now ranges from controls assurance to effectiveness of risk management and governance.
