This study investigated on role of internal audit function on performance of public higher learning institutions in Tanzania using the descriptive correlational design. From 306 staff members, 103 were selected through the simple random sampling and 83 filled and returned the questionnaires. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The organization was found to be doing well in risk management and control mechanism aspects as part of the internal auditing function. There are adequate human and material resources for internal audit function. The internal audit staffs are qualified and the management supports the internal audit initiatives with ICT facilities and adequate budget. While risk management, control mechanism and availability of resources significantly predicted the organizational performance, governance process did not. Availability of resources for internal auditing was the best predictor for the organizational performance. It is therefore recommended that the organization should maintain the existing risk management strategies and regular presentation of risk management reports as such aspects contribute to the organizational performance. Since risk management, control mechanism and availability of resources are significant predictors for the organizational performance, there is need to keep improving the control mechanism and provide required resources for effective internal audit function.
