Internal audits

The aim of an internal audit review is to provide assurance that the systems of internal control within the entity are reliable, appropriate and working effectively.

An internal audit will give you comfort that the systems you have in place are the most appropriate for the business and that they are being applied in practice.

We use a systems-based approach, which has two core elements:

  • An evaluation is undertaken to assess the systems of control and their adequacy when compared to best practice. We also ensure that the control objectives match
  • Testing is undertaken to confirm the actual application of your controls.

How we can help you

We will produce a report that will give you assurance on the overall adequacy and application of the systems and functions reviewed. This report includes constructive and practical recommendations for improvements that can be implemented to strengthen the system of control and protect the business from risk.
