Post Soviet countries, including, Georgia, were facing a new challenge. They had to create the legislative base on the basis of which audit functioning would be possible. At the same time, this system had to be fit for market economy and commensurate to the international practice. Therefore, based on the above said, the given article will concern issues of internal audit in both public and private sectors.
