Its the audit that takes place in the middle of the year. Its a common practice for companies to have an interim audit for many reasons. For example, having an interim audit will help the year end audit to finish earlier as less evidence will be collected.

Any audit happens before during the last years annual audit and next current year annual audit.

 

It may takes following form:

 

Internal Audit

Statutory Audit

Compliance Audit

Operational Audit

 

All the Government organization, there is their internal reuirement to conduct internal and works audit during the financial years

 

Example: National Highway Authority in Pakistan.

 

It is not necessary that only public listed company do this. The requirement changes from company to company as per their policy and nature of risk involved in their function. Higher the risk factor higher the need of interim audit.

par محمد رشدى محمد , Internal auditor , Intersect For Contracting

INTERIM AUDIT is an audit conducted during the fiscal year usually as a means of minimizing the work and time involved in concluding the audit after the fiscal year. A corporation might have an interim audit covering the first nine months of the fiscal year so that at the end of the fiscal year most of the auditing will focus on the last three months of the fiscal year thus allowing for a comprehensive audit and early completion of the audit reports. An interim audit does not usually yield any formal reports from the external auditors

I would just like to add that apart from financial audits there is another type of audits that is done by the client in a bpo. Based on the audit the client could decide whether the cotract is to be extended or not. It is very bad time for emploees in the BPO as any answer by an emploee not liked by the client could cost his /her job. Some take casual leaves when the audit takes place.
