Government Internal Audit Agency is a Executive Agency sponsored by HM Treasury. The Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA) provides services to support the effectiveness of central government organisations’ governance, risk management and internal control. It leads the cross-government internal audit function and its associated profession.

(ii) Advisory work: This helps to identify where the control framework should be improved. (iii) Counter fraud and investigation work: We provide advice and support to customers on counter fraud strategies, fraud risk assessments, and measures to prevent, deter and detect fraud. Where commissioned, it investigates suspicions of internal or supplier fraud or malpractice.
