Hello Helen,

Thank you for your question, below is a response for your question

The Internal Audit Report is the third stage out of 4 stages of internal audit process, the stages are as follows:

1. Planning for the Internal Audit, usually at this stage the auditors must prepare the risk assessment as well as the audit work program.

2. Executing the Internal Audit Process by implementing the audit work program, usually at this stage the auditors should select the representatives sample for testing and draw their conclusion about the audit result

3. Reporting the exceptions noted based on the work done on the 2nd stage (executing the internal audit) such as control weakness, key risk areas, or opportunity for improvements in internal audit report using the 5 elements in Internal Audit Finding(observation)
