This Internal Audit Manual is designed to support the internal audit units of the Greek public administration in strengthening their professionalism and operational capabilities. The Manual proposes a structured framework for an effective internal audit function and offers practical guidance for the standardization and modernization of audit practices applied throughout the public sector.
This Internal Audit Manual addresses five key issues that go to the heart of the work of the internal audit units:
- The development of an effective audit
- The establishment of an audit action plan based on a risk
- Supporting the organisational units and programmes to be "audit ready".
- Carrying out a fraud risk assessment.
- The successful completion of an audit mission from the planning stage through to the stages of conducting and submitting the audit report.
