The internal audit activity can promote continuous improvement of organizational controls by facilitating control self-assessment (CSA) sessions. These sessions involve managers and staff in evaluating the effectiveness of controls within their areas of responsibility. This approach not only promotes ownership of controls among process owners but also helps identify areas for improvement and fosters a culture of continuous improvement. By engaging managers in these assessments, internal auditors can help ensure that controls are understood, effective, and continually refined based on feedback and changes in the risk environment.
