About Internal Audit

Landspítali’s Internal Audit function operates in accordance with Article 65(2) of Act No. 123/2015 on Public Finances and conducts risk-based audits within the hospital’s operations in line with an audit plan approved by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board. Each audit is planned and carried out, and follow-up on findings (corrective action requirements) is conducted, in accordance with the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) for internal auditing.

The purpose of internal audit is to assist management in achieving operational objectives, primarily through audits of defined areas of operations.

The standards describe the purpose of internal audit as follows:

Internal audit enhances an organization’s ability to create, protect, and sustain value by providing the board and management with independent, risk-based, and objective assurance, advice, insight, and foresight.

Internal audit strengthens the organization’s capacity with regard to:

• Effective achievement of objectives

• Governance, risk management, and control processes

• Decision-making and oversight

• Reputation and credibility with stakeholders

• The ability to serve the public interest
