Internal Audit

At Enterprise Risk Services, we help clients manage risk and uncertainty from the boardroom to the network. One of our primary capabilities is in the area of internal audit, a function that has changed dramatically in recent years. It has evolved from a traditional auditing role, with a charter of protecting enterprise value, to that of an internal consultant, with increasing organisation-wide pressure to enhance shareholder value.

More and more, senior management and Boards are expecting their internal auditors to be more consultative, and to play a more strategic role in the management process. IA professionals are expected to help management identify and quantify risk across the organisation, reduce exposure to acceptable levels, and monitor ongoing compliance. There is greater need for responsiveness, specialised industry and product experience, and knowledge transfer. However, acquiring and retaining the necessary, and often specialised, capabilities internally can pose quite a challenge, particularly in light of changing priorities.

Our Enterprise Risk Services professionals have not only the knowledge, technology, and vast experience across a broad spectrum of industries, but most importantly a distinctive approach, that makes us uniquely qualified to help. We work closely with our clients to build world-class internal audit processes that become critical in helping management assess the current situation and strengthen the entire organisation.
