Internal audit outsourcing and cosourcing - A response tailored to your needs | Brochure |
New internal audit challenges
The financial crisis has highlighted the major role played by internal auditing in enabling executives, audit committee and board members to carry out their responsibilities in terms of governance, risk management and sustainability.
Gone are the days of limiting internal audit to operational and compliance auditing.
More than ever, internal auditing must be at the centre of corporate strategy and its smooth implementation.
It is a driver for success and must specifically address the risk-taking necessary for the development of the company’s activities and the protection of its vital assets (business, competitive advantages, human capital, organisational and technical infrastructure, etc.).
Have you ever wondered?
- Are we getting enough valuable information and insight from our investment in internal audit?
- Does our internal audit team have the specific skills and experience needed to effectively address risks in our business before they become a problem?
- Does our internal audit plan align with the risk profile and strategic objectives of our organisation?
- How can we better manage our internal audit costs? Is it possible to shift from a fixed to a more variable cost structure?
- How can we keep up with an ever-evolving regulatory environment?
