senior management's expectations have a significant influence on internal audit and that internal audit, generally, is able to meet most of these expectations. Senior management wants internal audit to compensate for the loss of control they experience resulting from increased organisational complexity. Senior management expects internal audit to fulfil a supporting role in the monitoring and improvement of risk management and internal control, and wants them to monitor the corporate culture.

CEO and BOD will think of better about internal auditor if they surmise that their reporting is helping management in bettering lets say production controls in such a way so that loss of inventory due to theft, obsolescence , wastage etc has reduced significantly.

The objectivity of an Internal Audit (IA) function can be observed/verified by:
1. balanced and fair reporting (e.g. ensuring inherent and residual risk assessments included in IA reports are made consistently and in accordance with the criteria adopted by the organisation to define its appetite for risk);
2. external expert assessment of IA's compliance with IIA Standards (at least every five years); and
3. fulfilment of '3rd Line of Defence' role within GRC framework.
