What action should be taken?
For Internal Audit functions to be effective they require access to a pool of skilled and scalable resources, ready and able to assess and provide assurance around the full array of risks facing organisations today. Organisations need to:
- Determine whether the current in house capability is suitable for the changing nature of your company risk profile and future audit plan
- Leverage best practice and insight from across markets and industry sectors
- Challenge if audit plan is aligned with overall risk framework of the organisation
Building and supporting a specialist in-house team capable of delivering the level of assurance and insight required may not be feasible or cost effective for many organisations, so our clients look to us to provide such services.
