The study is based on the relation between the internal audit and the corporate governance, within the context where the internal audit became an essential pillar for a modern company, because it highly reflects the efficiency by properly using human resources and materials, a better coordination between various departments in a legal entity. By ensuring the fact that the economic entity respects the corporate governance standards, the internal audit establishes the development of an integrity reputation, the development of business relations based on trust.
