To this end internal audit works in partnership with management. Internal audit operates in compliance with International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, as well as the Audit Charter.

The Audit Charter is a statement of purpose, authority and responsibility adopted by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

Major objectives of Internal Audit are;

1. To strengthen corporate governance principles,
2. To enhance risk management through risk identification and monitoring,
3. To provide the Audit Committee with the required assurance in relation to the Audit Committee's oversight role,
4. To ensure compliance with policies, procedures, laws and regulations,
5. Conducting prioritized, risk-based audits and providing recommendations for improvement, based on the findings.

In addition, the department is tasked with ensuring the effectiveness of the Quality Management System (QMS) and compliance with the ISO 9000: 2008 Quality standards. Internal Audit reports administratively to the Chief Executive Officer and functionally to the Audit Committee.
