The used method of research is based on the qualitative analysis of internal audit activities which are meant to add value to management processes in public entities. The originality of the paper consists in the qualitative study based on interpretative methods for understanding the effects of governance on management and audit. The conclusions of the study are presenting in the paper by a governance model for the public sector and can act as starting point for future research.
