    The work of internal audit is distinct from the external audit which is carried out for the benefit of Shareholders only & examines published accounts.

    Is it true / false ?please explain

    I would say true. External auditors’ prime duty is to report to shareholders on whether or not the financial statements show a true and fair view.

    Internal auditors report to management, typically on the operation of the company’s internal control systems.

    External auditors report to shareholders on the financial statements. Internal auditors report to management (ie internally).
