Good corporate governance can fundamentally reduce the risk of internal business management through a series of effective and mutually restrictive institutional arrangements, so as to enhance the overall ability of enterprises to resist risks.

< p > the basic principles of Internal Auditing: it is clear that internal audit is an independent and objective supervision and evaluation activity within the organization. It aims to promote the realization of organizational goals by examining and evaluating < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > business activities < /a > and the appropriateness, legality and validity of internal control.

Corporate governance is a brand new concept. So far, the theory and practice circles at home and abroad have not yet formed a completely consistent understanding. At present, it is difficult to define the definition of "corporate governance" accurately and underground.

< p > but from the perspective of the emergence and development of < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > corporate governance < /a >, it can be understood from two aspects: narrow sense and broad sense.

The narrow sense of "corporate governance" refers to the mechanism of supervision and balance between owners (mainly shareholders) to managers, that is, to establish a system to rationally configure the relationship between rights and responsibilities between owners and managers.

< p > generalized "corporate governance" refers to a mechanism of supervision and balance between shareholders and other stakeholders, that is, to establish a set of formal and informal internal and external systems and mechanisms to coordinate the relationship between enterprises and stakeholders.

It includes not only internal governance based on corporate governance structure, but also external governance implemented by other stakeholders from outside the enterprise by means of relevant systems and mechanisms, which is governed jointly by stakeholders within and outside the enterprise.

< /p >

< p > its purpose is not only to ensure the maximization of the interests of the owners, but to ensure the maximization of the interests of the stakeholders.

To achieve this goal, corporate governance can not be limited to checks and balances of power, but must focus on and ensure the scientific decision-making of enterprises. Not only do we need to establish a complete and effective corporate governance structure, but also we need to establish an effective corporate governance mechanism.

Internal audit is an important part of enterprise internal control. It is a control layer independent of specific operations and management. It is directly responsible to the highest decision makers. It also evaluates the adequacy and potential risks of specific operations and management departments' internal control, and puts forward audit proposals to reduce the risks arising from the ineffectiveness of internal control.

At the same time, internal audit helps enterprises to create "soft control" environment, and is a consultant for internal control process design.

< p > from the development trend of internal audit in recent years, its function has expanded from traditional supervision and evaluation to supervision, evaluation and consultation, and gradually changed from "supervision oriented" to "service-oriented".
