Risk & Compliance Services
Over the last few years, the need to manage risks has become recognised as an essential part of good corporate governance. This has put organisations under increasing pressure to identify all the business risks they face and to explain how they manage them. In fact, the activities involved in managing risks have been recognised as playing a central and essential role in maintaining a sound system of internal control. While the responsibility for identifying and managing risks belongs to management, one of the key roles of internal audit is to provide assurance that those risks have been properly managed. We believe that a professional internal audit activity can best achieve its mission as a cornerstone of governance by positioning its work in the context of the organisation's own risk management framework.
Effectiveness Assessment
A main objective of conducting an internal or external compliance audit is to assess the overall effectiveness of a business’s compliance practices and protocols. While examining processes and transactions we determine whether the item being examined complies with established standards. We use various parameters to determine the final outcome of the audit -- an assessment of whether the business’s compliance program is or isn’t effective.
