Abstract

This study aims to provide a summary of the literature on corporate governance as well as to present and introduce recent trends in internal auditing. In the first stage, it highlights the role of internal auditing in activating corporate governance through a number of its key components. In the second stage, based on this, the study is divided into three main sections: the first section addresses the theoretical framework of corporate governance; the second section reviews the general framework of internal auditing; and finally, the third section deals with the contributions of internal auditing in this context. Through the presented study, a number of findings can be highlighted, the most important of which include the role of internal auditing in activating corporate governance through its function as a mechanism to limit creative accounting; its role in improving the quality of financial reports; and finally, internal auditing as a link between various governance mechanisms.
