A Proclamation

Whereas, internal auditing is a vital part of strengthening organizations and protecting stakeholders in the public and private sectors; and 

Whereas, internal auditing helps identify and manage organizations’ risks and ensures that policies, procedures, and controls are in place and working appropriately; and 

Whereas, internal auditing is an increasingly sophisticated and complex activity that requires specialized knowledge, training, and education; and 

Whereas, internal auditing is an established profession, led by the Institute of Internal Auditors, with a globally recognized code of ethics and Global Internal Auditing Standards; and 

Whereas, Internal Audit Awareness Month recognizes the contributions of internal auditors to the success of organizations and the global economy at large;

Now, Therefore, I, Josh Stein, Governor of the State of North Carolina, do hereby proclaim May 2026 as “Internal Audit Awareness Month” in North Carolina and commend its observance to all residents.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Great Seal of the State of North Carolina at the Capitol in Raleigh this twenty-seventh day of April in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-sixth and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
