The article deals with necessity of strengthening the role of internal audit as a function of enterprise management, which contributes to increasing the responsibility of enterprise officials related to paying taxes and payments to the budget. Ukraine is frequently faced with the problems related to completing of the revenue part of the State budget in terms of taxes. Internal audit is one of the factors that promptly helps to identify errors and fraudulent actions. The authors carried out the analysis and research of foreign and domestic scientists in the field of internal audit. Special attention is given to the analysis of revenues of the state budget of Ukraine for 2016–2018 and data of the State Fiscal Service related to the revealed abuses by taxpayers are analyzed. A large number of additional charges showed the necessity to look for additional actions in order to prevent abuse. It was proved that one of such instruments is internal audit. In case of increasing financial flows and number of operations, the need for its implementation will grow. The authors proposed to use the experience of The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which developed a model of internal control.
