Why internal audit?

Lack of good governance, risk management, and internal controls can be fatal for any company and can lead to loss of money, customers, reputation, data, and values. Internal audit helps ensuring that the company's governance, risk management, and internal controls are adequate to support that the company's succes.

The best internal audit does not only provide assurance and recommendations to the board and the audit committee but adds value to the entire company. It assists the company's management in ensuring that the company's future dreams and visions are built on a solid foundation and evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the internal controls.

Internal audit covers not only financial processes but spans broadly across all the risks, processes, and activities that are important for the company's success. The best internal audit reports recommendations quickly, allowing companies to proactively minimise risks and achieve the best results.
