Abstract
At present, continuous effort is being made, in the field of internal public auditing, at the level of the Internal Auditing Board, to shift from compliance auditing, that verifies the accordance of the performed activities to the law, to system auditing which aims to monitor both the aspect of compliance and that of assessing the achievement of objectives within the frame of economy, efficiency and effectiveness. Consequently, we can state that system auditing is a result of the two types of auditing (compliance and operational) and that its promotion is of utmost necessity, due its superior quality. Within this general context, this study approaches system auditing in a logical manner, presenting a positive attitude and vision by setting forth opinions regarding the role of system auditing within missions of protection. Our purpose is to identify ways and solutions towards improving internal public system auditing within the MoD.
