CONCLUSION
As internal auditors have better understanding of the organisation and expertise in its risk and control, the proposed requirement for the external auditors to make enquiries of internal audit function in ISA 315 (Revised) will enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of audit engagements. External auditors should pay attention to the components of internal control mentioned above in order to make effective and
efficient enquiries. An increase in the work of internal audit functions is also expected because of such proposed requirement.
