The role of internal audit is to ensure an organisation’s internal control processes are operating effectively and efficiently, and implement any changes as required.

But it’s not always that simple. Organisations are increasingly faced with a myriad of challenges, including resourcing constraints, an ever-changing regulatory and legislative landscape, and advances in data protection technology.

Engaging independent internal auditing expertise provides an organisation with an objective, unbiased review and assessment on its processes and systems. Ensuring proper security and safeguarding of assets, as well as compliance with relevant laws and regulations, among many others, is critical to the short and long-term viability of a business.

Assessing existing processes and systems with an independent lens often results in tangible, effective improvements which would otherwise have gone undetected.
