Abstract

In the context of digital transformation, sanctions pressure and increased requirements for business transparency, audit organization issues are of strategic importance. Any audit today is not just an element of control, but an essential management tool that allows you to timely identify risks and weaknesses, increase the efficiency of processes, and ensure compliance with legislation. The article provides a comparative analysis of two main models - the creation of its own internal audit service (full-time employees) and the involvement of an external audit company (outsourcing). Key criteria were identified for choosing the optimal form depending on the size of the enterprise, the specifics of the activity, financial capabilities and strategic goals. Particular attention is paid to a comparative analysis of the economic efficiency, objectivity and independence of audit assessments, confidentiality of information and response to incidents. Recommendations are proposed on the choice of the form of organization of internal audit aimed at increasing the stability and competitiveness of the business entity.
