AbbVie’s Global Internal Audit function plays a critical role in protecting and enhancing the organization’s value through risk-based assurance and advisory services to internal stakeholders, senior management, and our Audit Committee of the Board.

Internal Audit strives to be a critical function to evaluate company, industry and emerging risks, effectively partnering with the business, and consistently recruit and develop key finance talent.  Our goals are carried-out through the talent of the audit team, while leveraging analytical and audit tools, supported by a dynamic and collaborative team culture. Our key pillars include:

• Execution:  Our leading pilar is focused on executing our audits and services in accordance with Institute of Internal Audit (IIA) standards, AbbVie Code of Conduct, and other internal policies.  We drive meaningful dialogue, analysis, and tools that allow us to partner with our stakeholders on key decisions, aimed at assessing and improving AbbVie’s control environment.
• Engagement:  We take pride in how we engage with stakeholders and each other – respectfully, ethically, and with AbbVie’s success and our patients at the forefront of our work.  We rely on and challenge each other, as peers, knowing that at the core of every successful team is trust, partnership, and respect.
• Development: The core success of our team is reliant on our talent.  We focus on developing members of the audit team to execute audits/services, provide opportunities for training, and upskill other focus areas of each individual.  We also continuously assess our culture to allow for an environment that cultivates and sustains an atmosphere of self and team development to allow auditors to move and contribute at a high-level to the wider organization after 2 years.
