Furthermore, this paper aims to provide an insight to the current and future internal audit activities of the university for next 5 years. In order that, we conducted a survey of knowledgeable people related to Internal Audit, in both of the investigated universities. The results showed that assurance activities are more important than consulting activities. The investigating respondents prospective about the future activities of the internal audit showed internal auditors are expected to perform consulting services; Such as, governance, control and special projects based on management needs.
