THE RISK CONNECTION OF AN ORGANIZATION WITH INTERNAL AUDIT. SPECIFIC CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Abstract

There is risk in everything we do. A risk-free situation is one where we know exactly what will happen and there is no variation doubt, which is otherwise impossible. But not all risks have only a negative connotation, some of them can even create opportunities.

Executive boards now exert more and more influence, the investors become more and more pretentious, and the managers have become more aware of the key problems their business have to confront (every day).

They consist in finding those ways that would prevent investors and the taxation from being manipulated.risk appetite, risk management, SOX model, corporate governance, the Cadbury Report
