The study is quantitative, and data were collected through questionnaires from accounting officers, senior management officers, audit committees, and internal audit units in public sectors. A total of 318 responses were collected. A Partial Least Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was applied using R-studio to analyse the collected data, assess the model and test hypotheses. The findings revealed that internal audit characteristics procedures, independence and competence influence internal audit effectiveness in procurement.
