The internal audit function is to provide assurance to the accounting officer on the adequacy and effectiveness of the department’s system of internal controls.
Internal audit also acts as a resource to Department of the Taoiseach managers through its analysis and appraisal of departmental control systems.
The internal audit function, comprising an Audit Committee and an Internal Audit Unit (IAU), provides assurance to the department’s accounting officer on the adequacy and effectiveness of the department’s system of internal controls and acts as a resource for the Management Advisory Committee (MAC).
The Audit Committee meets at least 3 times per year to consider internal audit reports produced by the IAU prior to their submission to the accounting officer.
The Audit Committee also approves the Annual Work Programme of the IAU and produces an annual report of the work of the internal audit function for submission to the accounting officer and circulation to the Taoiseach and the Comptroller and Auditor General.
