There is a head in the accounting department, this head is responsible for human errors, he collects transactions from various accounting departments and will correct errors, while the internal auditor's job is to carry out checks and assess effectiveness and efficiency, especially in the financial sector.

You know it well because you are an accountant. I remember it there's a head of the accounting department who's usually an MBA.
