Warba Bank launched an extensive awareness campaign to mark Global Internal Audit Awareness Month, in line with its commitment to strengthening corporate governance and promoting a culture of compliance and transparency across the organization. The initiative is part of the bank’s ongoing efforts to reinforce effective oversight as a key pillar supporting sustainable growth and institutional performance.
The campaign highlights the role of internal audit in supporting the bank’s governance framework by evaluating control procedures, reviewing compliance systems, and assessing the effectiveness of risk management processes. These efforts provide decision-makers with data-driven insights and performance indicators that support operational improvements and enhance efficiency.
The bank said internal auditing has evolved beyond its traditional role of review and evaluation, becoming a strategic partner in building a resilient business environment able to respond to regulatory and operational challenges in a rapidly changing banking landscape.
Hanan Ghanem Hamada, Acting Chief Internal Audit at Warba Bank, said the campaign included a series of internal initiatives and awareness activities aimed at enhancing employees’ understanding of internal auditing and its role in protecting institutional performance and promoting professional integrity.
“The campaign also highlights international best practices in governance, risk management, and internal control,” Hamada said.
She added that the initiative provided a platform to emphasize the importance of cross-department collaboration and shared responsibility in adhering to policies and procedures, contributing to a disciplined and transparent work environment.
Hamada noted that the modern role of internal auditing extends to supporting value creation by providing forward-looking insights, identifying improvement opportunities, and enhancing the reliability of operations.
She added that internal audit also supports the bank’s strategic objectives through an advanced oversight framework characterized by independence, efficiency, and objectivity.
The bank said the campaign reflects its ongoing commitment to promoting institutional awareness and strengthening the role of internal audit as a strategic tool that supports resource protection, performance improvement, and sustainable growth.
This aligns with the bank’s broader vision of delivering a banking model based on trust, governance, and long-term value.
