Quality and Compliance

Despite the fact that many entities operate in relatively less regulated markets which at present do not directly impose the establishment of an internal audit function within their organisational set-up, many companies are becoming increasingly aware of the multitude of benefits that may be reaped from the appointment of an internal auditor tasked with the provision of independent and objective assurance on the implemented internal controls.

Internal Audit as a Strategic Advisor

The internal audit function can provide a customised solution to the potential risks identified throughout the course of the internal audit procedures and attain a holistic overview of the internal control framework implemented. Despite there being little to no regulatory enforcement in this aspect for unregulated business, the risks and challenges that they face are often greater than those faced by regulated entities.

Thus, many unregulated businesses are starting to consider the internal audit function as an unparalleled value-enhancing tool which helps strengthen their internal operational core and ultimately lead to significantly ameliorated procedures.
