  ABSTRACT: This paper attempts to critically review literature on internal audit effectiveness. Some empirical findings were selected for the study. It was revealed that studies concentrated on public sector organizations. Also, internal auditors’ attributes were identified as the key for the measurement of internal audit effectiveness and that therelationship of internal auditors and external auditors, chief audit executives and senior management play a pivotal role in internal audit effectiveness. It is recommended that research in internal audit effectiveness should encapsulate empirical studies in the private sector organizations; comparative analysis of private and public sector organizations; attributes of internal auditors as the core measurement; and the relationship and/or causality of management support and internal audit effectiveness. Additionally, relationship of internal auditors with others including external auditors, chief audit executives and senior management should be emerging areas of research in internal audit effectiveness.
