Internal Audit & Assurance
In a business environment characterised by high levels of uncertainty, new and emerging risks and more sophisticated business processes, organisations must continue to demonstrate to their stakeholders that they have adequate controls and safeguards in place.
Internal audit and assurance is an integral part of good governance. In some industry sectors, internal audit is mandated whilst in other sectors, it is strongly recommended.
Stakeholders demand more than the traditional ‘tick and bash’ internal audit and assurance function, they demand a function that:
- Is independent of management;
- Utilises a risk-based audit approach;
- Is aligned and supports other risk and governance initiatives; and
- Works with management to support the attainment of the organisation’s objectives.
We believe that internal audit and assurance activities should provide value and contribute to better business practice and performance. However, the needs of every organisation are not always the same. That is why InConsult offers a choice.
