Internal Auditing activity does not add assurance that fraudulent activities will be detected. because internal auditing responsibility with respect to fraud detection is to examine and evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control.

Furthermore, internal auditors are responsible for assisting in the deterrence of fraud by examining and evaluating the adequacy and the effectiveness of the system of internal control.

After notifying some red flags, an internal auditor's responsibilities for detecting fraud include evaluating fraud indicators by expanding activities and deciding whether any additional action is necessary or whether an investigation should be recommended.

the internal auditor should notify the appropriate authorities within the organization only if (s)he has determined that indicators of fraud are sufficient to recommend an investigation.

"Case: Kingston cotton mills company (1986)

 

An auditor is not bound to be detective and to work with their suspicion, that there is something wrong. He is a watchdog not a blood hound. He is justified in believing tried servant of the company and is entitled to rely upon their representation provides he takes reasonable care."

 

So if the auditor is suspicious on any transaction, he may extend his audit procedures to detect fraud and error.

 

Otherwise, he may not do.

An auditor is responsible to authenticate the data in financial statements in compliance with laws and international accounting standards. However, during the course of audit; if any fraud is identified; it is his responsibility to report the same. The management is mainly responsible for the frauds.
