Abstract

This academic paper is to present the enterprise risk management roles of internal auditors. The objectives of this paper consist of 1) reviewing literature of factors affecting effectiveness and efficiency of internal auditing and 2) reviewing literature of enterprise risk management benefits that lead to adding value to an organization.

According review, it can be seen that internal auditors participate in managing enterprise risks. Managing enterprise risks can also add business values such as market price increase, incremental profit, reducing earnings fluctuations, reducing audit fees, and reducing organizational fraud. For future research, it can be suggested that a researcher should study factors affecting internal auditing practice, and independence and objectivity of an internal auditor. In addition, the study of relationship amongst internal auditing quality, risk management and organizational performance is needed to investigate. These suggestions may lead to the development of internal auditing quality and actual benefits of an organization.
