Modern economic theories reject the generalization of theoriesconcerning the economic and financial crises. Each financial crisis is unique, ahistoric accident, generated by specific factors in a certain socio-economic andpolitical set-up. According to these theories, crises cannot be anticipated so as tominimize their negative effects. In spite of the fact that economic and financial crisesare not identical and do not produce identical effects, history teaches us that theyare strongly correlated with the cyclic nature of economic processes. The currenteconomic recession, which shows in all fields of activity, is determining auditors tomake evaluations which are a lot more precise, based on extensive procedures, aslong as the presumption of activity continuity into the future is accurate. In thiscontext, internal audit is individualized as an managerial assistance function, whichallows a correct perception of the reality of the business as a whole and/or aspredefined processes. The purpose of this paper is to create an overall picture ofinternal audit by collecting data and information from literature and showing thedimensions and the internal audit practices internationally. Therefore, we conducteda research based on the analysis of national and international publications, variousarticles and studies in the financial press, on the emergence and development ofthe internal audit function both internationally and nationally. Later we analyzed theposition of internal audit in terms of global financial crisis, all these leading to theusage of a comparative study of twelve international companies in order to highlightthe specific features of the internal audit function in each organization. Our intentionis to emphasize aspects of internal audit departments, relations between them andthe management, their role in companies based on studies provided by Protiviti, aglobal consulting and internal audit services company, having experts specializingin risk, consultancy and transactions.
