Internal audit independence crucial for successful enterprise risk management implementation.
The article explores how internal audit and audit committees impact the implementation of enterprise risk management (ERM) in companies. The study shows that the independence of internal audit is crucial for ERM implementation. Additionally, the priority given to internal audit work plays a significant role in ERM implementation. Audit committee support is also found to enhance the effectiveness of internal audit in ERM implementation, especially in developing policies and strategies.
