<![CDATA[Background: Organizations increasingly depend on internal audit agility in rapidly changing organizations, yet visible activity does not by itself demonstrate reliable capability or sustainable value. Fragmented responsibilities, weak evidence, and locally optimized metrics can cause decisions about control ownership to create unmanaged exposure elsewhere. Aim: This article develops a governance framework that connects internal audit agility in rapidly changing organizations, control ownership, and professional judgment through five mutually reinforcing capabilities: decision-useful information, control ownership, professional judgment, traceable evidence, and assurance and review. Method: The paper uses an integrative conceptual review. Established management research, professional standards, and institutional guidance are synthesized through construct clarification, mechanism mapping, risk-control analysis, and proposition development. It does not report respondents, sample statistics, or causal estimates. Results: The synthesis indicates that performance becomes more resilient when decision rights, data definitions, controls, escalation paths, and learning routines are designed as one management system. The proposed model links each capability to observable evidence and balanced indicators. Contribution: The article offers an auditable implementation sequence and propositions that can be tested in later empirical research.]]>
