Internal Audits

Internal auditing is an objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

Outsourcing to our internal audit services allows you to gain new insights into the risks your organization faces and the controls you need to manage those risks when our industry-experienced internal auditors complete a risk-based internal audit plan.

A strong internal audit function can help you uncover if your employees are taking shortcuts or not following procedures. It can also identify best practice recommendations, note inconsistencies and identify areas of redundancy for streamlining.

Our consulting team can:

• Help to identify the areas of highest risk within your organization and build a risk-based internal audit plan that ensure internal audit time and dollars are spent in the areas with the most impact. 
• Discuss controls with your process owners, test for compliance with established controls, and provide real-world examples and industry best practices tailored to your organization
• Save you time and money by supplementing your internal team when necessary to ensure your internal audit plan is completed.   
• Our professionals specialize in internal audits and bring a consultative mindset that assesses your true risks and works with you to develop a strong, tailored internal audit plan.
• And instead of leaving you with a laundry list of to-do items after your internal audit is complete, we walk you through your remediation options and help you determine approaches and solutions to mitigate your risks that are tailored to your organization’s needs, goals, and challenges.
