    abstract = {This study is an empirical analysis of the role of internal auditing in Lean Six Sigma (LSS) whereby
the involvement of an internal auditor in LSS projects and the effective internal audit capabilities can be highly
beneficial for a company to identify the processes, adding true value and leading to sustainable performance
improvement in the company. The research method presented in the study draws both on the researcher’s
experience and the survey in the area of LSS and internal auditing. The outcomes from the survey and literature
proved that internal auditors are still looking for the fact that they can play important roles in LSS but on the
other hand the study also discussed several roles that internal audit activities are either not ready to pursue
or should not pursue. The study of the role of internal auditing in LSS can provide leaders or internal auditors
the information to understand role of internal auditing in LSS projects or any performance improvement
programmes.}
