The role of internal audit standards in enhancing the auditor's confidence in the financial reports

Abstract

This study aimed to identifying the role of internal auditing standards in enhancing the auditor's confidence in the financial reports, and the reflection on the scope of the work of the auditing standards, with the implementation of the Iraqi banks, to determine their compliance with accounting auditing standards. The results of the study indicate that the internal audit is complementary to the external audit work, as each represents an effective accounting system aimed at providing the necessary information. The existence of a good internal audit system means that the external auditor is limited to the number of tests he performs during the examination.
