Internal audit

The work of independent auditors, aimed at producing results for third parties, may also be tailored to assist officers with their functional and legal duties of controlling their operations.

Every officer knows that a set of good policies and practices should be accompanied by procedures that provide reasonable assurance that they will be effectively followed. This is the concept of compliance.

The international literature on internal controls requires the existence of an active compliance function to evidence existence of an adequate internal control system. In the financial area, this duty is usually performed by the internal auditors.

In the absence of an internal audit function, officers may engage independent audit service firms to conduct an internal audit program. Typical engagements related to this function are:

  • Assessment of business and operational risks and development of a risk matrix for the company.
  • Review and assessment of internal controls over assets and processes.
  • Development and implementation of new controls.
  • Taking of physical inventory counts.
