INTERNAL AUDIT AND RISK MANAGEMENT UNIT

Internal Audit Activity (Internal Audit):
The Drakenstein Municipality’s Internal Audit is capacitated to provide independent, objective
assurance and consulting services. Independence is maintained by being accountable to the
Accounting Officer administratively and by functionally reporting to the Audit Committee, these
reporting lines are clearly stated in our Internal Audit Charter.
The Internal Audit Activity strives to provide value-added service to the municipality proving
workable and sustainable solutions. We understand that in the past Internal Audit was seen as
policemen or investigators, we are striving to shift this mind set and be appreciated as a
value-adding activity within the municipality.

Vision:
Our vision is to be a respected world-class assurance and consulting service provider to the
Drakenstein Municipality.

Mission:
Our mission is to provide independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to
add value and improve Drakenstein Municipality’s operations. We assist Drakenstein Municipality
to accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and
improve the effectiveness of internal control, risk management and governance processes.
