The employees of the Internal Audit Service Office are always committed to their Environmental Pledge:
1. Starting a mini garden (potted plants, vertical garden, or herbal garden in the office), and
2. Taking a personal mug or tumbler to work/ on the go

IASO's Mini Garden gives a presence of greenery on the 7th floor of the Executive Building, creating a calming environment and soothing the mood of anyone who witnesses its aesthetics.

Meanwhile, 100 percent of IASO's employees bring their personal tumblers to the office, making sure that they utilize them during meetings, Exit Conferences, seminars, or even at other places.

Truly, we can help the environment in our own little ways.

The Internal Audit Service Office successfully concluded its 15th Anniversary on December 10, 2025!

The momentous day was filled with fun and excitement, as the office hosted a Trivia Game for all employees and staff. Everyone brought their A-game in answering the trivia questions about the office and important facts about Internal Audit. And of course, they were rewarded with amazing prizes.

We hope that this activity improved everyone's knowledge about internal audit. Cheers to more years with IASO!
