The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between internal audit and organisational performance of Kenyan WSPs. To fulfil the study objective, hypothesis was derived and tested on a population of 93 Water service providers. This cross sectional descriptive study was guided by a positivist study paradigm. The Data Envelopment Analysis approach was used to codify the dependent variable and regression analysis was then applied to test the hypothesis. The null hypothesis was rejected as the regression analysis found that 10.1% of variations in firm performance are explained by variation in internal audit while 89.9% of variations are explained by other variables. This infers that internal audit influences performance of Water service providers in Kenya. The study made contribution to policy formulation and development to benefit the understanding on how internal audit in the Kenyan context influence organizational performance resulting to formulation of reforms in vari...

The aim of this study was to establish the association between internal audit and internal controls of Kenyan water service providers. To attain this objective, the researcher collected data on a population of 93 Water service providers. This cross sectional descriptive study that attained a response rate of 78% of the targeted 93 water service provider units was guided by a positivist research philosophy. Correlation analysis and regression analysis was then used to test the hypotheses. Correlation research analysis found a statistically significant positive relationship between internal audit and internal controls. The null hypothesis was rejected as the regression analysis found that a unit change in internal audit leads to a change of 0.505 in internal controls. . This infers that internal audit influences internal controls of Water service providers in Kenya. This study has provided an empirical foundation for investigating the relationship between internal audit and internal c...
