Internal Audit Unit

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.

It comprises an Internal Audit Committee and an Internal Audit Unit.  The Committee meets 2-3 times per year and approves the Annual Work Programme and Annual Report of the IA Unit, and considers draft Internal Audit Reports before these are sent to the Accounting Officer.  Internal Audit Reports are also made available to the Comptroller and Auditor General’s Office.
