Cost and benefits of internal audit?
Internal audit can be beneficial to most organizations because, if planned properly, it provides management with a methodology to identify those risks that may prevent the organization from meeting its objectives. For example, if a company has a strategic objective to raise $20 million in loans to build a new facility there are a number of risks that may prevent that from occurring. One risk may be the external factor of increased interest rates. Another risk may be internal risk that management does not qualify for credit because of covenants they will not be able to meet. Financial costs of internal audit will vary based upon the size and goal of the internal audit function. Additionally, the cost will be based upon the resources used to perform the work (outsource, co-source, in-house). The most significant non-financial cost may be a negative reputation of the internal audit role throughout the organization. If the function is not properly established, socialized and executed then the validity of the function could be jeopardized. Internal audit can be a value-add activity but often times it is strictly a policing function, which is sadly an example when the cost of internal audit usually does not exceed its benefit.
