Internal Audit (Auditoria Interna) CAE Charter (Estatutos) “The internal auditors should have an independent reporting line directly to the Audit Committee.” SAS #99 “Three principle factors contribute to independence and objectivity: the organizational positioning of the function, the corporate stature of the chief internal auditor, and the reporting of the chief internal auditor to the audit committee. For day-to-day operational purposes, the chief internal auditor should report administratively to a senior officer who is not directly responsible for preparing the company’s financial statements. The commission encourages an administrative reporting relationship in which the chief internal auditor reports directly to the CEO.” NCFFR (1987)
