INTRODUCTION
The notion of the auditor being bound or a watchdog is gradually changing for the
better as internal auditing has undergone tremendous changes in recent past.
The actual functions of the auditor is often surrounded in secrecy or held in
some kind of awe. Major notes of internal auditing have not been clear to the
majority of people in the society. In view of numerous corrupt practice, frauds
and embezzlement often uncovered by probe tool has often been questioned. It is
the realization of this that I have set out to look critically into internal
audit department of Eco-bank with a view to find whether effective control. The
mode of appointment, independence and duties of the internal Auditor was looked
into a determining whether the internal audit department is being operated as a
management or efficiency audit. The finding
shows that internal auditor is not completely independent and mode of operation
has a combination of characteristics of various types of auditing especially
the operation type of audit. Nevertheless a high degree of internal control
exists in the bank. In consideration of improvement in some areas,
recommendations are proposed.
