The purpose of this article is to make a proposal for process development for monitoring activities in a way that includes experiences gained from audits conducted in order to achieve the goal of risk-oriented internal audit function in institutions and to contribute a guiding study on the subject to the literature. In this study, first of all, the risk-oriented internal audit approach and monitoring process are explained with the document analysis method, and then a model for the monitoring process is presented and conclusions and recommendations are made. By using the document analysis method and the features of the risk-oriented internal audit approach, an original application process was compiled to test the risk and control processes for the internal audit activities required for an effectively functioning monitoring system. It is suggested that risk- oriented internal audit will be an important tool in increasing the added value for institutions with the monitoring system designed for risk- oriented internal audit activity, which examines the processes and offers suggestions for areas of development in order to ensure that all financial and non-financial resources are used effectively, economically and efficiently and to add value to the work of the organization.
