Internal audit capability level 4 is an excellent assurance of governance, risk, and control from the organization. Therefore, the role of internal auditor as a strategic counterpart is needed. Furthermore, obstacles and challenges were analyzed and evaluated for this Inspectorate General of Ministry X. The research used a qualitative method with a case study approach. Document reviews and interviews are used to collect the data.
