- Abstract
This paper analyses the effects of internal audit competence, independence, and procedures on internal audit effectiveness in the procurement process in the public sector of Tanzania. The study is quantitative, and data were collected through questionnaires from accounting officers, senior management officers, audit committees, and internal audit units in public sectors. A total of 318 responses were collected. A Partial Least Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was applied using R-studio to analyse the collected data, assess the model and test hypotheses. The findings revealed that internal audit characteristics procedures, independence and competence influence internal audit effectiveness in procurement. The study findings provide useful insights for policymakers, academics, and internal audit practitioners on the effect of the characteristics of internal audits in improving the effectiveness of internal audits in procurement in Tanzania.
