Internal Audit

Our internal audit methodology has an operational and business risk focus. It is designed to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations and to address the traditional financial and compliance areas. It also allows for ad-hoc special reviews to be performed, providing the flexibility to address Audit Committee and management concerns.

Where the list of sub-services is lengthy within a section, I propose to illustrate them as expendable options as follows:

Risk Assessment

Our team collaborates with you to identify key risks so that they can be addressed by your corporate governance processes, including internal audit activities, where appropriate.

 

Establishing an Internal Audit Function

We work with publicly listed and privately held companies to establish effective internal audit functions. Our experienced professionals can assist you to develop a new internal audit function carefully tailored to suit your business’ needs, including strategic alignment with business objectives.

Our internal audit service includes an in-depth risk assessment across the entire organisation, formulating strategic internal audit plans, reporting findings, and working together with management to put forward specialist bespoke recommendations for your organisation.

 

Outsourcing the Internal Audit Function

With extensive expertise across an array of sectors and industries, our internal audit service is geared not only to provide Assurance to the Board via the Audit Committee, but also to bring new insights and innovative solutions to the Board which will add value to the entire organisation.

 

Co-Sourcing of the Internal Audit Function

Co-sourcing enables your internal audit function to obtain access to a broad range of skills and expertise. Specialist insights from our team will assist your team to identify evolving risks facing your business. BDO professionals can provide as-needed or ongoing support of your resource needs.

 

Internal Audit Quality Assurance Reviews

As per the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), an external party must review the quality of your internal audit function. Our professionals can help your organisation evaluate conformance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) and identify opportunities to improve internal audit performance and services. BDO professionals can assist you in shifting to a more proactive, risk-based internal audit approach.

 

Internal Audit Training

Corporations have been increasingly seeking for internal audit trainings to stay up to date with latest internal audit developments, trends and topics. Our qualified specialists will prepare customised trainings suited for your needs, combining their vast experience across industries and jurisdictions, and the latest materials from the issuing bodies.

 

GRCConnect – IA Risk tracker

Our software will allow your organisation to easily track and monitor recommendations, to ensure that agreed remedial actions take place as and when agreed. Business users/managers are assigned ownership of remedial actions on the software together with target dates. Automated emails are sent as reminders to allow users to add completed actions, thereby allowing real-time monitoring and reporting across diverse geographical locations/entities.
