With the emergence of a globalized market economy, the functions of internal audits have become a part of business organizations, due to which their scope, definitions, and functions have expanded substantially (Mexmonov et al., 2020). The function of internal auditing encompasses a wide range of tasks, including assessments of risk, control assessments of internal functions, and provision of consultation. Moreover, the internal audit function also helps provide governance functions, which further helps in the management and compliance of the company’s rules and regulations (Griffiths, 2016). The avenue of internal auditing was imitated in the 1930s. The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) described the function as an objective and independent assurance aimed at value addition and improvement of the operations of any organization.
