    Abstract

    organizations on how to manage risks. Internal and external audits of compliance with the
    standard are key elements. Auditors should be competent to carry out the task and be
    familiar with risks of the areas they are auditing. The competences and practice of internal
    auditors have been studied in two Danish municipalities. The results show that auditors
    have a varied background and a limited knowledge about psychosocial risks. They have
    difficulties in carrying out audits and the results are mainly influenced by personal
    preferences.
