Internal audit
Forward-thinking organisations must continually look for ways to improve business efficiency, stay ahead of competitors and respond to emerging trends. As your business evolves, the associated changes come with a level of risk, such as exposure to new threats, control gaps, regulatory violations or inadvertent operational issues. An internal audit can mitigate the potential risks associated with change while taking your organisation on a process of self-discovery to add value and achieve your performance goals and objectives.
An internal audit requires a deep understanding of your business and industry best practice. By exploring and assessing key areas such as organisational governance, risk, control, efficiency and effectiveness, the audit process can lead to new business systems, improved performance and corrective action to address issues and risks.
A comprehensive internal audit will provide your organisation with a:
- Deep understanding of the current business state
- Robust risk management
- Business performance optimisation
- Compliance and reporting
- Accountability for investors and consumers
- Business process maturity benchmarking against others
