Internal Audit / Risk Management
Internal audit and risk management are two of the cornerstones of corporate governance. Recent events have increased their profile as Boards have become more aware of the importance of understanding risk and regulators are demanding improved control to protect customers.
Unlike external audit, internal audit looks beyond financial risks and statements. Its focus is on the wider issues that help businesses mitigate the risks to which they are exposed as they seek to achieve their business objectives. This means the strategic value of internal audit is greater than it has ever been.
