ABSTRACT
Effective internal audit is an important and integral function of organizations that helps in achieving
its objectives and protecting organization's assets. Nonetheless, internal audit effectiveness has
received little attention in the literature, especially in the context of developing countries such as
Nigeria. This study examined the determinants of internal audit effectiveness in Kano state
Ministries, Departments and Agencies. The study used Krejcie and Morgan to arrive at a sample size
of 132 using the chief internal auditor and his deputy in each of the sampled Ministries, Departments
and Agencies. The questionnaires prepared based on 5 Likert type scale and were distributed among
the respondents. The data were analyzed using OLS multiple regression technique. The result
revealed that independence of internal audit department has positive and significant effect on internal
audit effectiveness of Kano State Ministries, Departments and Agencies. Management support for
internal audit has positive and significant determinants on internal audit effectiveness of the
Ministries, Departments and Agencies. However, competence of internal audit staff, size of internal
audit department and relationship between internal and external auditors were also found to have
insignificant influence on internal audit effectiveness. The study concluded that independence of
internal audit department and management support for internal audit are the main factors that
explained internal audit effectiveness of Kano state Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
Therefore, regulatory authorities (Head of Service, Secretary to state government and ministry of
finance) should work towards ensuring competent personnel in internal audit departments because
the low level of professional qualifications and rapid rotation of employees to and from the internal
audit department results in internal auditors (excluding directors) having low levels of experience in
auditing. Based on the findings, the study recommended that the regulatory authorities should ensure
effective monitoring of competence of internal audit staff and increase management support for
internal audit of the state Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
