The Internal Audit Service is an independent and impartial organisational unit of the Agency that has been established to advise the Agency’s management and contribute to improving its operations.

The Service systematically and methodically evaluates and improves the effectiveness of risk-management, control and governance processes. It reports directly to the management on established deficiencies and irregularities and gives recommendations for their elimination, with a special emphasis on the internal control system. It operates in accordance with the Guidelines for the State Internal Auditing, which are based on the compulsory elements of the International Framework for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing.

With its in-depth understanding of the functioning of the organisation and advisory services, the Service strives to strengthen and protect the value of the organisation by providing objective assurances on the basis of risk assessments.
