Internal Audit

Understanding your mastery and potential for improvement

How do you know if your organisation's operations are working as they should? How do you know if your organisation is 'in control' and compliant with laws and regulations? How do you know if your processes really support the realisation of your organisational objectives?

Continuous improvement and proven 'in control' is an important condition for success and continuity of organisations. Understanding the risks of your organisation and processes is necessary to manage them effectively and transparently, to be compliant with internal and external laws and regulations and to make effective use of improvement capabilities.

With internal audits, you gain the necessary insight into control, compliance and capacity for improvement. Internal audits add value by providing additional assurance, advice and direction for your organisation. In our view, the internal auditor should not only identify and assess (residual) risks, but also proactively advise on how to manage those risks. The auditor is explicitly expected to add value to your organisation and the realisation of your organisational goals: from protecting value to developing value.
