Internal Auditors

The two Internal Auditors of IOTA are elected by the General Assembly for a two-year term. The Internal Auditors review and assess the internal procedures of the Organisation as well as the conformity of those with the legislation and the Charter. They also examine and evaluate the overall economic situation and efficiency of the Organisation, as well as the financial management and the internal control systems.

Internal Auditors - Feature component

The auditors also check the reliability and credibility of the accounting system and financial reports in cooperation with the external (independent) auditor. They present statements and recommendations on the processes examined, to prepare analyses and assessments for the General Assembly on how to enhance the operational efficiency of IOTA, and to improve and further develop the internal procedures. 
 

Ms Charalambia Kaouni, from Greece, was appointed as an Internal Auditor of the Organisation for a two-year term. Mr Markus Erlmoser, from Austria, who was appointed as Internal Auditor in last year’s General Assembly, will continue to hold the office during the period between the 28th and 29th General Assemblies.
