Abstract
This article explores the critical relationship between auditing and internal controls, emphasizing their role in strengthening organizational governance, risk management, and operational performance. Drawing on recent empirical research, comparative studies, and established frameworks such as COSO, the analysis highlights how internal audit functions as a cornerstone of internal control systems, identifies key factors influencing audit effectiveness, and presents quantitative evidence through tables and graphs. The findings underscore the necessity of robust internal audit practices for fostering transparency, accountability, and resilience in contemporary organizations.
