11、tended outcome it is supposed to bring about. Sawyer (1995) states, “… internal auditor's job is not done until defects are corrected and remain corrected.” Van Hansberger (2005) explains that internal audit effectiv

18、audit quality, which is determined by the internal audit department's capability to provide useful findings and recommendations, is central to audit effectiveness. Internal audit has to prove that it is of value to t
19、he organization and earn a reputation in the organization (Sawyer, 1995). Internal audit has to evaluate its performance and continually improve its service .audit quality is a function of the level of staff expertise, t
20、he scope of services provided and the extent to which a</p><p> Audit findings and recommendations would not serve much purpose unless management is committed to implement them. Adams (1994) used agency the
21、ory to explain that it is in the interest of management to maintain a strong internal audit department. Implementation of audit recommendations is highly relevant to audit effectiveness (Van Hansberger, 2005) and the man
