Data was collected and collated using the Likert scale. This study found out that internal auditing helps to ensure improved risk management processes, improves internal control system and also improves corporate reporting. Internal auditing as a pillar on the corporate governance process was also found to have a positive correlationship with corporate governance compliance in the SOEs sector in Zimbabwe.
