Abstract

Public internal audit is asked to provide assurance that the public money is well managed and the existing resources are directed, efficiently and in line with the law, towards the real problems and in respect with the public interest. The research objective was to provide an insight in the status of Romanian public internal audit by identifying its strong points and weaknesses and suggesting a set of measures aiming at improve the public internal audit and willing to help in the implementation of a strong public internal audit function. The author’s investigation has scientific and practical implications aiming at attenuate the gap in the previous research, enriching the literature on the topic and suggesting ways of improvement of the public internal audit function in Romania.
