BoN Hosts Internal Audit Awareness Day
10 June 2026 | Media Release
 

The Bank of Namibia today hosted an Internal Audit Awareness Day engagement bringing together policymakers, governance practitioners, auditors, and public sector leaders to reflect on the evolving role of internal audit in strengthening governance, accountability, and institutional resilience.

Delivering the welcoming remarks, Deputy Governor Mr. Nicholas Mukasa underscored the critical role of internal audit as an independent assurance function that strengthens governance, supports effective risk management, and promotes accountability across institutions. He noted that strong internal audit functions provide organisations with the foresight, insight, and assurance required to navigate an increasingly complex operating environment while maintaining public trust.

The engagement was held under the theme of redefining internal audit’s strategic value and explored how the profession is evolving from a traditional compliance-focused function into a strategic partner that contributes to organisational performance, sustainability, and long-term value creation.
