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 assets. Internal audit helps ensure that the company’s governance, risk management, and internal controls are appropriate to ensure the company is best equipped for success.
The best internal audit not only provides assurance and recommendations to the board and audit committee but also adds value to the entire company. It helps the company’s management ensure that the company’s future dreams and visions are built on a strong foundation and tests the effectiveness of internal controls. Internal audit covers not only financial processes but spans all risks, processes, and activities that are important for the company’s success. The best internal audit reports recommendations in a timely manner, allowing companies to act proactively to minimize risks and achieve the best earnings.
