The theoretical part states firstly different features of both types of audit, issues of professional ethics and legal framework. Next, tools and methods of external audit are stated, as well as its goals and nature. In the subsequent chapter, the same aspects are explained for internal audit and finally, we discuss the cooperation between and comparison of the two types of audits. The practical section is focused on usage of the techniques in practice and their benefit in the form of practical experience. Real company data are used to demonstrate usage of the described techniques in practice in external and internal audit. In the final chapter, comparison of the results of both audits are stated, i.e. the auditor opinion and internal audit report which include suggestions for improvement in the audited fields. |
